lyrics

It's a television earthquake, everybody two-steps, shakes it like a sailor sinking by his loose lips. Prime time cataclysm, everybody tuned in. Yeah, it's bad enough now, just imagine back then. Tells you it's a gold mine, but he's the one selling it, squatting in a dumpster, sucking on a peach pit, preying on the housewives hungry for a bad fix, running from the police and looking good doing it.
La la la la, la la la la la la. Tell my momma for me all the greats die young, and I just stole a cop car. Baby, you don't wanna know where the money goes.
Taking no calls from his mislaid family, never looks back, if it hurts too heavily. Fresh from the hospital, sleeping in a church pew, never try to tell him the thing that he wouldn't do. Fed to the fire, sucking on fumes, said he had a vision and he said it was you. Two hits of morphine just to get him to sleep - twitchy and lucid, dreaming of the internet.
La la la la, la la la la la la. Tell my momma for me all the greats die young, and I just stole a cop car. Baby, you don't wanna know where the money goes.
Laying on the brakes cause the throttle got cut by the angry young American bleachblonde heartthrob, giving you her money makers like they were free, and starting more riots than Tunisian democracy. He was bad news then, now he ain't much better. Sub-par hygiene in hot weather. Say he's quite bright, but there's no indication cause he ain't been this fucked since the Bush Administration.
La la la la, la la la la la la. Tell my momma for me all the greats die young, and I just stole a cop car. Baby, you don't wanna know where the money goes.
