Lyrics

I couldn't be good
 Maybe I'm crazy
 I couldn't be good
 Maybe I'm mad
 I couldn't be good
 Don't get in my way because
 I couldn't be good
 But I'm bad
 I never thought it be like this
 I just figured it'd be a brand new El Dorado every year from now on
 Aw, who is this guy in the mirror
 He looks so weak and pasty
 I always wanted to take little Sam
 To see that Sphinx statue over there in Egypt
 I still don't like the idea of that guy over in Denver
 Firefloodin' on my field
 Asshole's so dumb he wouldn't know a pisspot from a kumquat
 God, he could cost me a thousand barrels a day out of that field
 Always wanted to see all that stuff they got over there in Europe
 And take little Sam and Earline both
 God, I need a smoke
 Don't seem like one little smoke would matter that much now
 I gotta go back for more of them treatments tomorrow
 Green
 The whole goddamn place is green
 But it ain't grass green or money green
 It's puke green or pus green
 And it's the kind of green I feel like when I'm there
 Like a bug about to be squished
 I just know Earline would love to see that Eiffel Tower
 Over there in France
 I think maybe she even has a poster about it in her room
