  • You're looking for the one who fucked your mom
    It's not me
    It's not me

    You're looking for the one who made you cry
    That's not me
    It's not me

    If you want to stuff your garbage in that hole
    Oh, baby I'm your man of the hour

    You think the world's got the evil eye on you
    That's not true
    That's not true

    The only one I see causing major pain
    Is just you
    It's just you

    If you want to spank your demons and make 'em pay
    Then baby I'm your man of the hour

    Some people go to bed with Lucifer
    Then they cry when they don't greet the day with God

    I know life's a bummer baby
    But that's got precious little to do with me

    You think you've found the one most like yourself
    And that's me
    Yeah that's me

    You're sure we've known each other all our lives
    That could be
    That could be

    If you want to spank your demons and make 'em pay
    Then baby I'm your man of the hour

    Some people go to bed with Lucifer
    Then they cry, cry, cry when they don't greet the day with God

    I know life's a bummer baby
    But that's got precious little to do with me
    I know life's a bummer baby
    But that's got nothing at all
    To do with me

    I needed a small vacation
    So they put me on a train
    They called it "rehabilitation"
    Oh, but here I am again
    It's against my second nature
    Not to to chase you down that hole
    I need a fistful of medication
    Just to keep it in my pants

    Ain't nothing like it

    You're looking for the one who fucked your mom
    It's not me
    It's not me

    You're looking for the one who made you cry
    It's not me
    That's not me

    If you want to spank your demons and make 'em pay
    Then baby I'm your man of the hour

    Some people go to bed with Lucifer
    Then they cry, cry, cry when they don't greet the day with God

    I know life's a bummer baby
    But that's got precious little to do with me
    I know life's a bummer baby
    But that's got damn nothing at all
    To do with me Writer/s: DAVID WYNDORF
