We originally wrote this song in 2004 and it was a perfect fit for "Off The Radar"
lyrics
Beg, Borrow, & Steal
Easy come and easy go
Man when your luck runs out
Then you will know
How it’s gonna feel
Feel so real
Fighting to survive
For me it’s no big deal
In comes the coldness of the night
What is wrong and what is right
Look away, can’t stand the sight
A ghostly demon in the night
Through your eyes I may not be
What it is you want to see
Even though you don’t agree
We’re the same, you and me
I have to beg, borrow and steal
And you don’t know how that makes me feel
I have to beg, borrow and steal
Alone without a home, lookin’ for my next meal
Another dawn, another day
Another sky turns to gray
Where can I go, where can I stay
A hopeless soul is turned away
Around the world I hear the cry
From people just like you and I
Young and old left to die
It leaves me with one question, why?
Listen to it good
Tell me what you hear
The writing’s on the wall
The message all too clear
I have to beg, borrow and steal
And you don’t know how that makes me feel
I have to beg, borrow and steal
And you don’t know how that makes me feel
I have to beg, borrow and steal
Alone without a home, lookin’ for my next meal
I have to beg, borrow and steal
And you don’t know how that makes me feel
I have to beg, borrow and steal
Alone without a home, lookin’ for my next meal
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
