Lyrics
The writer wrote The singer sung And they went broke Turned down by everyone Pa**ed on by asylum Met by BMG RCA and MCA And finally the big three And the writer said, “I wish you’d hire me” But you don’t like hearing the truth It’s all I got left, along with my debts And lack of youth” She said, “Take no chances” (Take no) “Just tell lies” (Tell no) “Sell your soul in compromise” “Take no chances” (Take no) “Just tell lies Don’t ask me why” News spoke The people gasped The senate broke While he was sittin’ on his big fat a** Promises of heaven Promises of hell Guess this God’s the only God That you can buy and sell He said, “Richard Nixon’s a hero And you’re just a communist stooge So for the rest of your days, when you call out his name He’ll be Mr. D**k to you” He said, “Take no kissingers” (Take no prisoners) “Take their wives” (Tell no lies) “And while you’re at, please take mine” “Take no kissingers” (Take no prisoners) “Just take mine” Sh*t, here’s the missing line There’s no ba**! Where’s the ba**? There’s no ba**! That’s me! And Simon said, “Why don’t you touch me? Reach out your hand just like this You capture my soul, you can grab hold And aim it while I p*ss!” He said, “You’re my prisoner!” (Take no) “Tell me lies!” (Tell no) “Try this tutu on for size!” “You’re my prisoner!” (Take no prisoners) “Tell me lies Don’t ask me why” Don’t ask me why Hey, I’m English
