The Have Nots Lyrics
From the album: Under the Big Black Sun
Drink from the bar
Nothing
Bar anything but
The bottom step of the ladder
It keeps getting
Higher and higher
Dawn comes soon enough
For the working class
It keeps getting
Sooner or later
This is the game
That moves as you play
How does it feel
To have you own
Bottle of booze behind the bar
How does it feel?
To play cards
With the barmaids
While they work
At Jacko's Rocketship
And The One Eye Jack
My Sin &
The Lucky Star
A steady place to study and drink
Day old days ancient
Bloody Mary bastards
In a hardcore
Blue collar bar
Here we sit
A shot and a beer
After another hard earned day
AT THE HI-D-HI
& THE HULA GAL
BEE-HIVE BAR AND
THE ZIRCON LOUNGE
G.G.'S COZY CORNER &
THE GIFT OF LOVE
STOP N' DRINK, SIT N' SIP, REST N' PIECES
DEXTER'S NEW APPROACH
& THE GET DOWN LOUNGE
THE AORTA BAR, DETROIT'S MAIN VEIN
Nothing
Bar anything but
The bottom step of the ladder
It keeps getting
Higher and higher
Dawn comes soon enough
For the working class
It keeps getting
Sooner or later
This is the game
That moves as you play
How does it feel
To have you own
Bottle of booze behind the bar
How does it feel?
To play cards
With the barmaids
While they work
At Jacko's Rocketship
And The One Eye Jack
My Sin &
The Lucky Star
A steady place to study and drink
Day old days ancient
Bloody Mary bastards
In a hardcore
Blue collar bar
Here we sit
A shot and a beer
After another hard earned day

BEE-HIVE BAR AND

One of my favorite X songs. Equal parts reverie and melancholy.
Those are the names of the bars near the long beach docks. folks working hard on the docks
