Crime Paying Now

They’re freaking at the meeting
They’re taking quite a beating
Someone’s getting jacked today
I think I best be leaving
Horace looks out nervously
And locks his windows furtively
But he’s pulled it off so perfectly
All syrupy, he’s rated G

Down at the monastery
The covers turn and twist
Someone’s giving in again
To what they’ve been told to resist
But down there in the darkness
A child of love is born
Only to be slaughtered
Early the next morning

The albatross is in the ointment
That greased the screaming wheel
And every stinking day is like another
Wound that doesn’t heal
Because inside of everyone
There’s a tiny little son of a gun
Who loves to ramble and to roam
And can’t leave well enough alone
