15I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A16 window and a pigeon with a broken wing

       A#29                   F30

55You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit
56To argue the truth
57
58The air on my skin and world under my toes
59Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
60Chaos and commotion wherever I go
61Love I try to follow
