Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ohh, I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Whoa, don't you want to save me?
[Verse 2]
I'm lazy when I'm lovin'
I'm lazy when I play
I'm lazy with my girlfriend, a thousand times a day
I'm lazy when I'm speakin'
I'm lazy when I talk
I'm lazy when I'm dancin'
And I'm lazy when I walk
[Verse 3]
Now, open up my mouth, air comes rushin out
Nothin', doin' nada, never, how you like me now?
Wouldn't it be mad, wouldn't it be fine?
Lazy, lucky lady dancin', lovin, all the time
[Verse 4]
Ohh, I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Whoa, don't you want to save me?
[Verse 5]
Now some folks, they got money and some folks, life is sweet
Some folks make decisions and some folks clean the streets
[Verse 6]
Now, Imagine what it feels like, imagine how it sounds
If everything were perfect and every thing works out
[Verse 7]
No tears are falling from my eyes
I'm keepin' all the pain inside
Now, don't you want to live with me?
I'm lazy as a man can be
[Verse 8]
Ohh, I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Whoa, don't you want to save me
[Verse 9]
Imagine there's a girlfriend, imagine there's a job
Imagine there's an answer, imagine there's a God
Imagine I'm a Devil, imagine I'm a Saint
Lazy money, lazy sexy, lazy outta space
[Verse 10]
No tears are falling from my eyes
I'm keepin' all the pain inside
Now don't you want to live with me?
I'm lazy as a man can be
[Verse 11]
Ohh, I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Whoa, don't you want to save me
[Verse 12]
Lazy when I work, lazy all the day
Screamin' all you like, but it only fades away
I'm lazy when I'm prayin', lazy on the job
Got a lazy mind, a lazy eye, a lazy, lazy bod, now
[Verse 13]
Hard men
Hard lives
Hard keepin' it all inside
Good times
Good God
So lazy, I almost
Stop!
[Verse 14]
Ohh, I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Whoa, don't you want to save me
[Verse 15]
Whoa, I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Whoa, don't you want to save me
