Barrel Of Crabs Lyrics - The Gone Jackals

I was born there, 

Before I knew better. 

Went to school there, 

But learned to avoid that. 

Fell in love there, 

But love couldn t thrive there. 

Picked it up 

And I left it behind, said - 

Man, alive! 

Get me out of this barrel of crabs. 

Most our homes were 

Depressed by division. 

What passed for friendship 

Was really protection . 

Any work there 

Disolved into trouble. 

Ate me up, 

Livin life on the bubble, said - 

Man, alive! 

Get me out of this barrel of crabs.
