Wilco - Meanest Man Lyrics
If The Folks Next Door To Me Weren't So GoodI'd Do All The Mean Things Anybody CouldI'd Drink And I'd Gamble And I'd Louse AroundI'd Be The Meanest Man In This Whole TownIf I Hadn't Seen The Light In That Old Lady's EyesI'd Try To Be A Man You Would Hate And DespiseI'd Rave And I'd Rant And I'd Scream And YellAnd I'd Chase My Neighbors From Here To HellIf I Hadn't Heard Those Kids Laugh Playing GamesI'd Have Nervous Fits, I'd Go InsaneI'd Turpentine Cats And Tin Can DogsI'd Smother People To Death Inside Of Hollow LogsIf The People Around Me Wasn't So NiceI'd Freeze My Heart Into A Cake Of IceSteal Money From Soldiers And Working Folks TooI'd Lend You A Dollar And Take Back TwoIf My Wife Didn't Kiss Me The Way She DoesI'd Carry Four Or Five Daggers And Three Or Four GunsI'd Shoot Craps And Ramble And Hang Out LateI'd Steal Baby Buggies And Cadillac EightsIf My Friends Didn't Write Me Those Letters I GetI'd Be A Dictator, The Worse One YetI'd Be The Only Smart Bird, You'd All Be FoolsSend You All Away To War And I'd Stay Home And RuleIf It Wasn't For Them Songs I Hear You All SingI'd Put A Crown On My Dome And I'd Say I'm Your KingI'd Kidnap Some And Blackmail OthersI'd Peddle Black Market Stuff And Rob Sisters And BrothersIf It Weren't For Your Talking I Hear On The StreetI'd Be The Orneriest Man That You Ever Did MeetI'd Preach The Gospel Of Hate And I'd Drink Your BloodBut I Can't Be This Bad Because My Folks Are Too GoodNo I Can't Be This Bad Because My Folks Are Too Good
