WARREN ZEVON MR BAD EXAMPLE LYRICS

I started as an alter boy working at the church
Learning all my holy moves doing some research
Which led me to a cash box labeled “children's fund”
I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside by cumberbund
I got a part time job at my fathers carpet store
Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane
And auctioned off every last nogahide devan.
I'm very well acquanted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutten
And I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross
I'm mister bad example
Intruder in the dirt
I like to have a good time
And I don't care who gets hurt
I'm mister bad example
Take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred
And go down in infamy
Of course I went to law school and took a law degree
And counseled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement swindeling the bald
Where very few are chosen and fewer still are called
Then on to Monte Carlo to play shelen de fair
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
I put my last few franks down on a prostitute
[ Mr Bad Example lyrics brought to you by LyricsYouLove ]
Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute
Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
And headed for the airport and a midnight flight, you dig?
And Fourteen hours later I was down in adelade
Looking through the want ad's sipping Fosters in the shade
I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
And whisked away their workers comp
And pauperised the lot
I'm mister bad example
Intruder in the dirt
I like to have a good time
And I don't care who gets hurt
I'm mister bad example
Take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred
And go down in infamy
I bought a first class ticket on Malasyan air
And landed in shrilanka
None the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring
from all my dirty deals
I'll see you in the next life
Wake me up for meals
