Living with the liars makes a lonely man a thief
You got no education and you don't know how to eat
You feel a sickly pricking at the bottom of your skin
Amazing what a man can do with half a quart of gin
A drunkard and a dullard went off courting through the town
They stumbled and they crumbled and they kept on falling down
It's kind of like the friend you had when you were growing up
Who loves you till you're older and by then he's had enough

A good idea for a Christmas present
You're much too young to have a Bluetooth headset
A good idea for a sense of business
You're much too young to have a living witness

You knick you knack you pallywag you knocking on the door
You start to see some people that you haven't seen before
A murder in the backyard but you haven't got a clue
A little bloody placard on the stone above your tomb
A picture of a holiday that doesn't quite exist
You've got a happy ending at the tip top of your list
But when the man ain't coming how you gonna tell your kids?
They're screaming but they don't know why or what resentment is

A good idea for a Christmas present
You're much too young to have a Bluetooth headset
A good idea for a sense of business
You're much too young to have a living witness

Heard about the wishes that you left out on the lawn
You focus for a second then immediately it's gone
It's hard to concentrate on things that will not benefit
The things that you will do inside the life that you will live
It's burning and it's burning and it's fucking burning down
You're pushing and you're pissing but you cannot put it out
But that's the way it goes when you've got diamonds up your sleeve
You're bound to get infected by the blood that shines between

A good idea for a Christmas present
You're much too young to have a Bluetooth headset
A good idea for a sense of business
You're much too young to have a living witness
