Govt Mule - Same Price lyrics

Billy dresses like Billie with an"ie" Sometimes in the evening But nobody seems to care Nobody thought he was sane anyway He stands by the door on Second Ave. Watching people as they pass by But have you ever seen the gleam-It's a gleam There's a gleam in Billy's eye But nobody knows if he'll try to save the world Or if he'll try to shoot the President And nobody knows if he just needs a girl, Or if he wants to be a girl, Or if he just needs to feel like a man It's the same price - anyway Same price - you have to pay People put you down That's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price Rudy Tootie got caught up in a scheme Just before it backfired Three years later, now he's back on the street Word's out - he's up for hire Rudy always liked the smell of a dollar bill Especially if it's burning Always had a thing for low I.Q.'s in high heels Can't you feel the tables turning In walks Billie - she's maintenance free She'll be whatever he wants her to be It's the same price - anyway Same price - you have to pay People put you down That's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price Now Rudy's 0 for 2 - just another I.O.U. She's watching as they take him away He'll be better off behind those walls anyway It's the same price - anyway Same price - you have to pay People put you down That's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price - Same price People put you down that's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price Billy dresses like Billie with an"ie" Sometimes in the evening But nobody seems to care Nobody thought he was sane anyway
