《Mr. Bad Example (Live Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mr. Bad Example (Live) - Warren Zevon (瓦伦·泽冯)

[00:00:05] I started as an alter boy working at the church

[00:00:09] Learning all my holy moves doing some research

[00:00:12] Which led me to a cash box labeled children's fund

[00:00:17] I'd leave the change

[00:00:18] And tuck the bills inside my cummerbund

[00:00:21] I got a part time job at my father's carpet store

[00:00:25] Laying tackless stripping

[00:00:27] And housewives by the score

[00:00:29] I loaded up their furniture

[00:00:31] And took it to Spokane

[00:00:33] And auctioned off every last naugahyde divan

[00:00:38] I'm very well aquainted with the seven deadly sins

[00:00:42] I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in

[00:00:46] I'm proud to be a glutton

[00:00:48] And I don't have time for sloth

[00:00:50] I'm greedy and I'm angry

[00:00:52] And I don't care who I cross

[00:00:54] I'm Mr Bad Example intruder in the dirt

[00:00:58] I like to have a good time

[00:01:01] And I don't care who gets hurt

[00:01:03] I'm Mr Bad Example take a look at me

[00:01:07] I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy

[00:01:11] Of course I went to law school and took a law degree

[00:01:15] And counseled all my clients to plead insanity

[00:01:19] Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald

[00:01:24] Where very few are chosen and fewer still are called

[00:01:28] Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de fer

[00:01:32] I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair

[00:01:36] I put my last few francs down on a prostitute

[00:01:40] Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute

[00:01:45] Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig

[00:01:49] And headed for the airport

[00:01:51] And the midnight flight you dig

[00:01:53] And fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide

[00:01:57] Looking through the want ads sipping fosters in the shade

[00:02:02] I opened up an agency somewhere down the line

[00:02:06] To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines

[00:02:10] But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut

[00:02:14] And whisked away their workman's comp

[00:02:16] And pauperized the lot

[00:02:18] I'm Mr Bad Example intruder in the dirt

[00:02:22] I like to have a good time

[00:02:25] And I don't care who gets hurt

[00:02:27] I'm Mr Bad Example take a look at me

[00:02:31] I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy

[00:02:35] I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air

[00:02:39] And landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear

[00:02:44] I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals

[00:02:48] I'll see you in the next life wake me up for meals
