Have you ever noticed that all of the things that make life worthwhile are either illegal, immoral, fattening, unholy, unhealthy, politically-incorrect, socially unacceptable, or just plain wrong?
If these things be evil, then it must be a good kind of evil...
lyrics
If life was just a gamble and love was just a game
Then I'd have to be the luckiest man alive
You know it's tough to make a fortune, forget about the fame
Then again, it ain't enough if you just survive
And no one said it would be easy, but sometimes it's a breeze
And then again, sometimes I just wanna close my eyes
Listen to my heart as it tells me what it sees
And hope that I can harmonize
I ain't complaining but life is just a bitch
At a penny for the pound on the lost-and-found
So when I wanna get some mileage, I'll take another inch
And I'm groovin' to the sound o' RounGrounBrown
And it's a good kinda evil
Movin' to the sound o' RounGrounBrown
Though I've never been to Heaven, I've found a state of grace
And you know it ain't the journey it seems to be
But then you've got to make the pit stop if you intend to race
And you know the finish line is your destiny
And for some it's a religion, and others it's a drug
You know that everyone's entitled to just kick back
And now I wouldn't recommend all the work without the play
Won't you look at what it's done to Jack
I ain't complaining, but life is such a bitch
At a penny for the pound on the lost-and-found
So when I wanna feed my monkey, I'll take another pinch
And I'll roll me up a pound o' RounGrounBrown
And it's a good kinda evil
Rustle up a pound o' RounGrounBrown
(Now pay very close attention, boys and girls, 'cause this here's my favorite part....)
I'm gonna keep anticipating the ending of the day
You know it's always something I'm looking forward to
'Cause when all my work is done, then it's time for me to play
Do you have a better reason to pay your dues?
And if you feel you must say something, you'll pardon my offense
'Cause if you don't mind me saying, I just don't care
It's just that if I had a nickel for every two cents
Said I'd be a fuckin' millionaire
And now you won't hear me complaining, but life's a sonofabitch
At a penny for the pound on the lost-and-found
So when I wanna get perverted, I'll grab myself a wench
And I'll get it up to pound the RounGrounBrown
And it's a good kinda evil
Pulverize a mound o' RounGrounBrown
