Lyrics

I'd rather be an outlaw
Than to be a drag queen's knave
I read the ads for lovers
But all they want are slaves
I'd rather be an artist
If they'd let me paint the town
You know, I'd even be a fireman
If they'd let me burn it down
But when I pop the question
You could barely hear 'em say
"Don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway"
I'd rather be an Injun
Than to be the general's boy
It's one thing to be a target
Quite another to be a toy
I'd rather be the doctor
Than to be the dead man's nurse
I ain't got impatience
But I know right where it hurts
And when I pulled my pants down
You could barely hear 'em say
"Don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway"
Hamlet came to see me
And he offered me the cup
I said, "You must be kidding
Things are starting to look up"
He just sat there grinning
Poured it back into his flask
Said, "Anytime you need it
All you got to do is ask"
But when I pop the question
You could barely him say
"Don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway"
And when I pop the question
You could barely 'em say
"Don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway"
Now you can be an outlaw
You can be a hero, too
You can be anyone you wanna be
If it means that much to you
But if you're on the corner
Hustling for a crumb
They know your need, they'll make you bleed
Before they'll sell you some
And when you pop the question
You will barely hear 'em say
"Don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway"
Don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway
I said, don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway
Hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
