Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody called me on the phone
They said, "Hey, is Dee Dee home?
Do you wanna take a walk?
You wanna go cop?
You wanna go get some Chinese rocks?"
[Verse 2]
I'm living on a Chinese rock
All my best things are in hock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop, it is
[Verse 3]
The plaster's falling off the wall
And my girlfriend's crying in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch, I shoulda been rich
But I'm just digging a Chinese ditch
[Verse 4]
I'm living on a Chinese rock
All my best things are in hock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop, it is
[Verse 5]
The plaster's falling off the wall
And my girlfriend's crying in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch, I shoulda been rich
But I'm just digging a Chinese ditch
[Verse 6]
I'm living on a Chinese rock
All my best things are in hock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop, it is
[Verse 7]
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
I'm living on a Chinese rock
