I hate to do this but you're a pain in the neck
I thought you knew this you're handing me a canceled check
you're so helpless your girlfriends think you're a saint
I'll give you a quarter I'll keep my judgements to myself
and i get caught up in the moonlight
reaching out for a rotten egg I don't want to beg
it's crystal clear your time is nearly gone
count your blessings and do the things that you should
o the has-beens that never had it so good
stormy weather the kids are making a racket
in the wilderness the wild lives are so mild
