Lyrics

I wanna be tough
I wanna drink steak
Chewing a paint
Make a blind date
Give me a prize
I'm doing my best
I stayed up all night
Beating my chest
Awooaaoooaaooaa ahhhh
At the bottom of the trough
Where you go where you roam
Sickening talks
With a visiting gnome
Espionage
A dollar a word
Nothing else matters
Haven't you heard
Nothing else matters
Take it all yours
Give up the solution to the god of incense
And give up your bed to the tiny insects
Listen now
Gave it all that I got
My kneecaps are shaking beneath my culottes
Slot machine, hit the jackpot
I guess that all I wanted was to be a big shot
I guess all I wanna do is be a big shot
Wanna be tough
Make myself sick
Spitting a name
On a toothpick
Give me a prize
I'm doing okay
I stayed up all night
Hero parade
Awoowawoowoaa
Every murder that I solve
Smoke one cigarette
Spelling it out is as good as it gets
Eating just trout, Marie Antoinette
Try to send a letter but the letter's all wet
I've got a pet leech
I'm watching TV
Opportunity
Slams down my door
How does it go
How does it go
Get on your knees or leave me alone
I wanna be tough
Gimme a sign
You're out of luck
Am I out of my line
Win me a prize
Drink your coldbrew
Stay up all night
Gum on your shoe
Awoowowowowowo
Is it the coffee or the maitre'd
Is it E. coli or bad company
Is it one hundred percent guarantee
Is it a given or are you annoyed
Is it a submarine to be deployed
Is it the bruised fruit or the flies
Am I keeping my prize on the eyes
Is it the deadline or the scoop
Is it the parents or the peer group
Is it made of leather take a good look
Is it an old fashioned grappling hook
Is it the feminine divine
Am I only getting by
And I take my tan in the form of a spray
I haven't got eyelids I'm the valet
You're the worst person I've ever met
I'm sorry I haven't replied to your text yet
I wanna be smart
Makes me upset
The bigger the hit
The stronger I get
Five-baby goose
The size of a fist
I wanna be tough
I wanna be rich
Aoowaoowaoo
