Wolves
[Verse 1]
I miss my wolves and the Mountain Dew
I'm sick of British football with their 4-4-2
This cure of nicotine and the PS2
What's written on the box may not always be true
You get my goat with those things you do
You know deep in your heart, it isn't good for you
There are trailer parks in the desert
People playing golf in the desert too
See the good old folks in the malls they graze
Spending all their money on the latest craze
There's a massive queue at the quickest till
It's hard to tie the knobs in Margaritaville
Well you know this place is not a bit like me
Brightly coloured oldies as far as I can see
People go 'n die in the desert
People riding waves in the desert too
[Chorus]
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get
[Verse 2]
I ignore the advice you gave me 'cause the story's not the same
I will pour another cocktail and you'll be the one I'll blame
Take your nose out of the phonebook wipe that look across your face
'Cause after all the operations of that girl there is not trace
Well, I'm not your friend, I'm not on your team
So put another coin in the slot machine
'Cause things are strange, they're not what they seem
A man of great distinction, I have never been
Well it's far too hot to be doing lunch
Underneath my trainers is the forest crunch
People go 'n die in the desert
People choose to lose in the desert too
[Chorus]
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get
[Verse 3]
And the girls down at the salon always give you such big hair
So you know that it's no wonder that the normal folks they stare
And you know that there's no water in the hotel swimming pool
So don't feel the need to tell me that I've broken all the rules
See I pebble-dashed the limo on the way to San Jose
Have you ever noticed that it's such a fateful game we play?
While the whitest trash are smiling almost everywhere you go
And I'll get to cry my heart out at the nearest rodeo
[Chorus]
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get
Things are as bad as they get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get
