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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Laying tackless stripping[00:00:25]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And pauperized the lot[00:02:16]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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