Lyrics
Find another songWhat's Richard got
That I haven't got
It's not that hideous grin
That puts every girl
That sees him in a spin
You say he's funny and he's nice
And you listen to his advice
Well maybe listen to some of mine
'cause it will save you
Lots of pain and time
Honesty kills the best of us
And liars like him
Claim the minds of the rest of us
The news is all he wants you for
The noose is all he's good for
Remember Richard said
"The broken hearted are easy to bed"
Don't be gullible and kind
He just wants to get his pockets lined
I say he's a heretic
And a fake
And he deserves to burn at the stake
Put his ashes by the fruit machine
Think of him every time you win
Honesty kills the best of us
And liars like him
Claim the minds of the rest of us
The news is all he wants you for
The noose is all he's good for
People only see
What they want to see
It's a symptom of life's hypocrisy
People only see
What they want to see
That's why you're stripping naked in his back seat
People only see
People only see what they want to see
People only see
People only see what they want to see
The news is all he wants you for
The noose is all he's good for
Oooh, oh!
Oooh, oh!
STRING HIM UP!
