Fish Ain't Bitin' - Lamont Dozier

I’m out here fighting, hungry

The fish ain’t biting

Life’s so frightening

I’m out here stumbling

Broke and crumbling

And nothing’s hatching

And I ain’t catching

Nothing, nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing

I’m running last in this human race

Trying to get over this hopeless place

Trying to find that no defense

That I can’t win with no confidence

And meanwhile in dc

Tricky dick is trying to be slick

And the short end of the stick

Because I’m gonna get it

Tricky dick, please quit

Nothing, nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing

I’ve been trying to recover

From that phase one

But it’s just too hard when

The damage is already done

Lord, we will overcome

Or am I just destined

Destined to be a bum

With phase two

I thought I was through

In phase four gonna

Take me out the back door

This I know it’s for sure

I’m on my knees begging please

Tricky dick, stop your shit

Nothing, nothing

Can’t afford to be lazy

When the cost of living’s

Gone crazy
