(Warren Zevon and Larry Klein)
|
We're having a party
|
We're burning it down
|
We're building an idol
|
He's sad but he don't frown
|
He's the cream of the crop
|
So we're making him god
|
Start writing this down
|
When I give you the nod
|
|
Them Coptic monks
|
Knew how to keep it real
|
That Rosicrucian thing
|
That Zoroastrian deal
|
Well, they might be wrong
|
They don't give a damn
|
Long as they don't run out
|
Of sacrificial lambs
|
|
Eat my dust
|
And I'll clean your clock
|
Eat my dust
|
And we'll reel and rock
|
Eat my dust
|
And I'll be your man
|
You can be my
|
Sacrificial lamb
|
|
Madame Blavansky
|
And her friends
|
Changed lead into gold
|
And back again
|
Krishnamurti said,
|
"I'll set you free
|
Write a check
|
and make it out to me"
|
|
Take a look
|
At my family tree
|
Every brother and sister
|
Wants something for free
|
You get what pay for
|
From me, my friend
|
Nothing for nothing
|
Forever, amen
|
|
Eat my dust
|
You can touch my stole
|
Eat my dust
|
And we'll rock and roll
|
Eat my dust
|
And I'll be your man
|
You can be my
|
Sacrificial lamb
|
|
Smokey and the Bandit
|
And Saddam Hussein
|
Were staying up late
|
And acting insane
|
Along with Russell Crowe
|
And Hafez Assad
|
Start taking this down
|
When I give you the nod
|
|
The boys are all ready
|
They've laid out the plans
|
They're setting the stage
|
For the man-made man
|
We've worked out the kinks
|
In your DNA
|
So sayonara, kid
|
Have a nice day
|
|
Eat my dust
|
And I'll clean your clock
|
Eat my dust
|
And we'll reel and rock
|
Eat my dust
|
And I'll be your man
|
You can be my
|
Sacrificial lamb
