WARREN ZEVON MRBAD EXAMPLE LYRICS

Warren Zevon/Jorge Calderon)
I started as an altar boy working at the church
Learning all my holy moves doing some research

Which led me to a cash box labelled "Children's Fund"

I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside my cumberbund
I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane

Auctioned off every last naugahyde divan
I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth

I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross
CHORUS
I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history

Of course I went to law school and got a law degree
Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald
And counselled all my clients to plead insanity
[ Mrbad Example lyrics brought to you by LyricsYouLove ]

Where very few are chosen, fewer still are called
Then on to Monte Carlo play chemin de fer
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
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 the midnight flight, you dig?
Fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
Looking through the want ads sipping Foster's in the shade
To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines

I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot

CHORUS

I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
--------------------------------------------------------------See you in the next life, wake me up for meals
