i used to listen to this tune alot in college and played it many times in clubs...
he's talking about his ridiculous life as a musician..
When the joker tried to tell me
I could cut it in this rube town
When he tried to hang that sign on me
I said take it down
agents and promoters...
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
They're gonna do it with a shotgun
Yes, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life
for another one
sleeping illegally in your car or on the beach.
he's disgusted with the lack of respect and the seeming hopelessness of his current situation, he's only really feeling alive night by night. obviously that is all in the past...
