The Arcs - Put A Flower In Your Pocket Lyrics

The city street is hot
The heat is escalating
Every corner in the town
There's a paycheck waiting

Put a flower in your pocket
If you seem them boy, you drop it
And you run, run

They may pretend they like you
But man's best friend will bite you
Just for fun, fun
If they're gunning for you boy, you've already won

I had a dream today
About a hustle lost
He paid his dues
Then he paid the cost

Wish I knew back then
All I know right now
Things would be much different
Than time has allowed

Put a flower in your pocket
If you seem them boy, you drop it
And you run, run

They may pretend they like you
But man's best friend will bite you
Just for fun, fun
If they're gunning for you boy, you've already won

With tired eyes and bills to pay
You gotta make it through another day
The streets can see into your soul
It ain't where ya been but where you're gonna go

Put a flower in your pocket
If you seem them boy, you drop it
And you run, run

They may pretend they like you
But man's best friend will bite you
Just for fun, fun
If they're gunning for you boy, you've already won
