Basement breakdown
Government shakedown
Superman jazzman
Super-low attention span
Backseat driver

Positive negative
Immigrant survivor

Pardon me for knowing
I beg your pardon me

Tightrope paycheck
Enigmatic cigarette
Raging redneck
Shooting up the discotheque

Pardon me for crying
I beg your pardon me

When we were young
It was flowers and fun
We used to shout at the man in the tower above
Now that you’re old, it’s just money and fame
If you look in the mirror it’s a crying shame
