Lyrics
Do as I say, not as I do because
The shit's so deep, you can't run away
I beg to differ, on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap, and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat, and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
A smartass, but I'm playin' dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind the gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind, and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
A victim of a catch-22
I have no belief
But I believe I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
Do as I say, not as I do because
The shit's so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ, on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap, and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat, and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
A smartass, but I'm playing dumb
I have no belief
But I believe I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
I have no belief
But I believe I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
Hey!
