We think you've taken this about as far as it can go
It's about to blow
You got nowhere to run
Why don't you sit back and watch the show
Used to drop your little darlin' off at Sunday School
Family values while you're gettin' some Behind the pool
She's nobody's fool
So don't be actin' surprised when your daughter
Wants it bad as you
You jack up the rent, you call in a loan
Clear your intent is to screw 'em out of all they own
Throw the dog a bone
Well you'll be cryin' for mercy when your karma
Calls you On the Phone
Times are hard... Ain't it a bitch
Japanese are makin' you twitch
All your investments are turnin' sour
Kinda spoils your happy hour
Look around, we're comin' your way
It's a wonder to us how you ever thought you'd
Get away
What you say
Well, the way it looks from here
You won't have to wait
The way it looks from here
No need to hesitate
Have a party celebrate
The way it looks from here
You won't have to wait for hell to pay....
Hey mister, we want you to know We think you've taken this about as far as it can go It's about to blow You got nowhere to run Why don't you sit back and watch the show Used to drop your little darlin' off at Sunday School Family values while you're gettin' some Behind the pool She's nobody's fool So don't be actin' surprised when your daughter Wants it bad as you You jack up the rent, you call in a loan Clear your intent is to screw 'em out of all they own Throw the dog a bone Well you'll be cryin' for mercy when your karma Calls you On the Phone Times are hard... Ain't it a bitch Japanese are makin' you twitch All your investments are turnin' sour Kinda spoils your happy hour Look around, we're comin' your way It's a wonder to us how you ever thought you'd Get away What you say Well, the way it looks from here You won't have to wait The way it looks from here No need to hesitate Have a party celebrate The way it looks from here You won't have to wait for hell to pay....
