Fish Ain't Bitin Songtext
von Lamont Dozier

I′m out here fightin', hungry
The fish ain′t bitin'
Life's so frightenin′
I′m out here stumblin'
Broke and crumblin′
And nothing's hatchin′
And I ain't catchin′
Nothin' (nothin', nothin′, nothin′)

I'm runnin′ last in this human race
Tryna get over this hopeless place
Tryin' to find with no defense
And I can′t win with no confidence

And meanwhile in D.C.
Tricky Dick is tryna be slick
And the short end of the stick
Is all I'm gonna get it
Tricky Dick, please quit


I′m out here fightin', hungry
The fish ain't bitin′
Life′s so frightenin'
I′m out here stumblin'
Broke and crumblin′
And nothing's hatchin′
And I ain't catchin'
Nothin′ (nothin′, nothin', nothin′)

I've been tryin′ to recover from that phase one
But it's just too hard when the damage is already done
Oh, when will we overcome?
Or am I just destined, destined to be a bum?

With phase two, I thought I was through
And phase four gonna take me out the back door
If I know, it for sure, I′m on my knees beggin' for please
Tricky Dick, stop your-

I'm out here fightin′, hungry
The fish ain′t bitin'
Life′s so frightenin'
I′m out here stumblin'
Broke and crumblin′
And nothing's hatchin'
And I ain′t catchin′
Nothin' (nothin′, nothin', nothin′)

Can't afford to be lazy
When the cost of living′s gone crazy
Whoa


I'm out here fightin', hungry
The fish ain′t bitin′
Life's so frightenin′
I'm out here stumblin′
Broke and crumblin'
And nothing′s hatchin'
And I ain't catchin′

I′m out here fightin', hungry
The fish ain′t bitin'
Life′s so frightenin'
I′m out here stumblin'
