"Same Price" lyrics - GOV'T MULE

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
