i got belted in a downtown lane
they took my wallet and phone
digital freedom my fuckin arse
serves me right for being alone?
my lip is bleeding, my eye is swelling
i have a headache that would kill a horse
i didn’t even see the cunt that hit me
so it’s all my fault of course
all my cash was digitally stored
and i’m thirty miles from home
here amongst a million people
i’ve never been so alone
it will take weeks to replace
all of my wallets contents
watch me get asked for ID now
all bad luck and no common sense
i hope i clouded my latest backup
or i will have lost all now that is me
shows you how bound we truly are
under the assumption that we are free
no coins to use a payphone
but no ones number can i recall
this is not looking good for me
no good... here... at all
i went to the railway station
with a busted arse look on my face
they said they couldn’t help
it wasn’t their job or place
i don’t know what i’m going to do
and i feel like i could cry
i don’t know if i can walk thirty miles
but i’m gonna have to try
