lyrics

I’ve been thinking lately I
Enjoy impunity
For my head is way up high
And the law cannot reach me
Speak of the devil
Here come the Feds
Tell them that I’m dead
Cuz you know that baby
I don’t want to go to jail
Just want to sleep around
Though I might just tip the scale
If I gain another pound
Yes I’m quite large but
Still Thomas Nast
Can kiss my portly ass

In an age of hunger and need
We’re masters of greed
Bosses indeed
In an age of bribery and graft
We work at our craft
While dodging the draft

True, I can’t do it alone
I’ll need my ring of friends
Whom I’d be quick to disown
Should they wind up in the pen
With phrases such as
Who are these guys
I don’t recognize?
Cuz you know it’s just no
Good to be considered chums
With prisoners you see
Plus, they charge quite hefty sums
Just to set those jailbirds free
And though I’m loaded
I think my cents
Could be far better spent

In an age of hunger and need
We’re masters of greed
Bosses in tweed
In an age of bribery and graft
We work at our craft
While dodging the draft
