Quarter of a Man
lyrics: Ben Harper
music: David Lindley
from the 1981 album (and band) El Rayo-X
there's a quarter of a man in the market
with a quarter of a car so it's easy to park it
he gets to the counter
he pays what he can
but he only pays a quarter
he's a quarter of a man
now this quarter of a man he got fired
the next damn day he got hired
The only thing wrong with this plan
is he only makes a quarter
he's a quarter of man
every day he's on the street
too few quarters to live or to eat
he's so little the people all stare
but he only pays a quarter fare
now this quarter of a man's on vacation
but he still gets his ration
he gets to the market he saves what he can
but he only saves a quarter
he's a quarter of a man
every day he's on the street
too few quarters to live or to eat
he's so little the people all stare
but he only pays a quarter fare
there's a quarter of a man in the market
with a quarter of a car so it's easy to park it
he gets to the market
he saves what he can
but he only saves a quarter
he's a quarter of a man
