MY CLUTCH

Yes, yes, I see you
Dang it all
I think my clutch is going out
I'm sorry your homeless
But I have to secure my clutch

I sat there, right there
In that chair
The very chair where you told me
I can't help you
My clutch is secure

On the corner, the corner where people pass
There he is
Scruffy, stinky, without a hope bum
You can't help them
Be sure to hold your clutch

In that building, that erect building
Proclaiming salvation
But closing the door after every show
Taking and building 
A clutch so secure the vehicle can't move

Clutch crowd cowers continually....
