Lyrics

Ah one, two, three, four
I wish that I didn't hate you, least not as much as I do
And squander all my contempt for a little nothing like you
Liars like you are ten a penny
Women would slap you if you knew any
Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime
I got this suitcase of phony wisdom to dispense
And in these twenty-seven or so years
How you think I made them some cents?
Now they want me fingerprinted like I was smuggling drugs
While the government does deals with the most convenient thugs
Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime
It's needle time
It's needle time
It's needle time
It's needle time
I'm trying not to despise you with a passion that's hard to extinguish
Or maybe I really love you, although it's hard to distinguish
I wish I could be more like a sadist
Forgiving those who trespass against us
Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime
I started talking nonsense, just like I did to begin with
Around the time I taught others sour English
Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime
It's needle time
It's needle time
It's needle time
It's needle time
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
