Oh I was born and raised in Alabam
|
Well it sounds better than Leeds
|
Mama said the sooner you grow up
|
The sooner you can leave
|
And thus I came into existence
|
What else can I tell you
|
I could reminisce about the kiss
|
That really blew my mind
|
I could demonstrate how when I was eight
|
I celebrated nine
|
I could be young I might be old
|
I could be and if so
|
So what
|
|
Got my finger on the trigger
|
Whatever that's supposed to mean
|
Got my thumb caught in between the door
|
After which I screamed
|
It only hurts now when I suck it
|
What else can I tell you
|
Well its very sad to think you had
|
More money than good sense
|
Now you've lost it all your back to call
|
On me you're oldest friend
|
I'm not a man who minces words
|
And if that sounds absurd
|
So what
|
|
Even if it's likely to become the flavour of the year
|
Demonstrating for the right to work is work that is sincere
|
There ain't no pride in being idle
|
What else can I tell you
|
Well I've been described as looking like a nothing of a man
|
Had my work reviewed by critics who dismiss me out of hand
|
They say I'm middle of the road I say if that is so
|
So what
|
|
