" "And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold
and you measure for love by the sweet things you're told
and you live in the past of a dream that you're in
and your selfishness is your cardinal sin.
And you want to be held with highest regard.
It delights you so much
if he's trying so hard.
And you're trying to conceal your ordinary way
with a smile or a shrug
or some stolen cliché.
But don't you understand?
And don't you look about?
I'm trying to take nothing from you
so why should you act so put out, for me?

Additional quotes by Sixto Rodriguez
Going down a dirty inner city side road,
I plotted.
Madness passed me by, she smiled Hi.
I nodded.
Looked up as the sky began to cry;
she shot it.
Met a girl from Dearborn early six o'clock this morn:
a cold fact.
Asked about her bag. "Suburbia's such a drag,
won't go back,
'cause Papa don't allow no new ideas here,
and now he sees the news, but the picture's not too clear."
