lyrics

Hey! You're looking good, whatcha doin' in my 'hood?
Have you wandered off and gone astray?
You're just a little girl, and it's a big old world
But maybe I can help you find your way

Black top, blue jeans, that's the type I like to see
So take a seat and show me what you got
You can squirm and laugh, and take a polygraph
Interrogation's never been so hot

I'm a troubled man today
And hope to one day feel OK
You see I'm out of luck
And I don't give a f*ck

Chorus:
It's the same ol' story with these people trying to bore me
But I think I finally found a way
'Cause I'm a big bad man with a gun in my hand
And I'm gonna take my shot today

Sweet face, warm embrace, take me to another place
This spot has never seemed so f*ckin' lost
The truth will set us free, and probably endlessly
This life is sweet, but tell me what's the cost

Lost, confused, and hopelessly bruised
Your black and blue facade will fade away
But you will never lose your existential blues
And blackness still awaits your final day

I'm a troubled man today
And hope to one day feel OK
You see I'm out of luck
And I don't give a f*ck

Chorus:
It's the same ol' story with these people trying to bore me
But I think I finally found a way
'Cause I'm a big bad man with a gun in my hand
And I'm gonna take my shot today

Talk about a story, you could have just ignored me
But you figured you would rather play
With a big bad man with a gun in your hand
And you'd like to take a shot today

- Guitar Solo -

Chorus:
It's the same ol' story with these people trying to bore me
But I think I finally found a way
'Cause I'm a big bad man with a gun in my hand
And I'm gonna take my shot today

Talk about a story, you could have just ignored me
But you figured you would rather play
With a big bad man with a gun in your hand
And you'd like to take a shot today
