Handsome - Grand Theft

i don’t need no new signpost

to lean up against

i don’t care much to read it

afraid to make sense

i was carefully instructed

i know what to do

unless i was handsome

you should know too

i don’t like to explain things

expect you to know

there’s incomes and outcomes

somewhere it shows

though i don’t feign indifference

you’re likely to get it

unless i was handsome

you should have known that

out there for good luck

and ready to taste it

lost in the middle

i’m young enough to waste it

we’ve all been dealt

such a cruel hand

unless i was handsome

i don’t give a damn

my glass is always

filled up to the brim

please no conversation

i’m here to get my fill

with a black coffee ordered

in case she drops by

unless i was handsome

she’s not gonna try

i walk the antenna

i take heed from above

i’m just a bystander

on the side street of love

and i know i look hard

but i do atone

unless i was handsome

leave me alone
