The Ike Reilly Assassination
I Don’t Want What You Got (Goin’ On)
A beautiful girl once said to me
"Some men'll rob you with the poetry
And stay to watch you while you sleep
And kiss your ears and make you weep"
She's all whacked out, she don't back down
I threw my back out whackin' that ass now
Talk about a love that don't make a sound
Think about a lie that'll really get around
Juice and Zoloft, booze and prose
And Vicodin and Heineken and Wild Irish Rose
Cars and girls and drinks and songs
Make this world spin around
What about love and what about trust?
What do ya know about my love?
I know you can't love the enemies
Of all the things you trust
And I don't want what you got goin' on, goin on
And if you see me comin', you will know for sure that
I don't want what you got
I don't want what you got
I don't want what you got goin' on
I stood among the millionaires
Invisible with conventioneers
And the gay young rich with their tasseled hair
Who shop their deals with cappuccinos
And make my dreams of El Caminos
Real and Chevelles appealing
Chuck Berry, Cadillac, Ludacris, Cadillac
Jerry Lee Lewis with his balls on fire
In the back of a Rocket 88
With an out-of-state plate and an underage date
Cars and girls and drinks and songs
Leave that shit in the middle of the road
What about love and what about trust?
What do ya know about my love?
What do ya know about my love?
I know you can't love the enemies
Of all the things you trust
And I don't want what you got goin' on, goin on
And if you see me comin', you will know for sure that
I don't want what you got
I don't want what you got
I don't want what you got goin' on
Some easy-listenin', hair-dyed songwriter fraud
Hollywood-eatin', money-makin', I'm eatin' bacon
From a baggie in my pocket with my lover in a locket
And a life that I'll mock 'til the day that I drop
'Til my shocks bottom out and 'til I'm found out
As a fraud and a faker and a liar and a lout
A striver and a seeker that's always in doubt
I've been thinkin' 'bout a lie that'll really get around now
Cars and girls and drinks and songs
Make this world spin around
Cars and girls and drinks and songs
Leave that shit in the middle of the road
Cars and girls and drinks and songs
Thinkin' 'bout a lie that'll really get around now
Cars and girls and drinks and songs
Make this world spin around
What about love and what about trust? [x4]
I know you can't love the enemies
Of all the things you trust
And I don't want what you got goin' on, goin on
And if you see me comin', you will know for sure that
I don't want what you got
I don't want what you got
I don't want what you got goin' on
