[01:32.24]Seven o'clock pluckin' roaches out the cereal box
[01:35.10]Some shared the same spoon watchin' Saturday cartoons
[01:38.01]Sugar water was our thing every meal was no thrill
[01:40.66]In the summer free lunch held us down like steel
[01:43.55]And there was days I had to go to Tex house with a note
[01:46.07]Stating "Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"
