THIS THING OF OURS (barrows) we are americans we like to play with guns we'll point them at you as we drive our cars we blow things up sometimes we make a living doing our crimes we like to have our spam with caviar we like to bite the hand that feeds we've gone beyond reproach we eat our own- not a new approach they say that all is fair in love and war we've got a lot of nerve we spend from our reserve it seems it's always close but no cigar we know that smokes gets in your eyes our sex is clinical we're so damn cynical we order partners out of magazines we know no bigger joys than sitting in our laz-e-boys from birth to death and nothing in between and nothing in between LAUGHING LAST (coss) i'm a sneaky low down man if i can't get in i'll devise a plan i'll pull a scam on anyone i'm all grown up but i do it for fun i've got money but i don't want to pay just try to catch me i'll get away- you'll see what you pay for i'll get for free no need to steal when it's given to me i fooled you once remember when? let down your guard i'll do it again it's so true with age comes wisdom i love it when i beat the system- to death the cost is free i'm v.i.p. i'll sneak right past and i'm laughing last i've got money but i don't want to pay just try to catch me i'll get away it's so true with age comes wisdom i love it when i beat the system YOUR GENERATION SUCKS (martin) you grew
