Watts Da?


There's never a point 

You cross someone's line in the sand

And they kick you out of the joint 

Maybe you played the wrong song 

On the juke 

Maybe your breath made somebody's girl 

Puke 

I'm told that to get along 

You've got to go along 

I prefer to go it alone 

Cause I'm bad to the bone 

B-b-b-bad Etc. 

When I arrive at a dive 

I expect 

Bad 

Bad booze 

Bad women 

Bad manners and 

Bad sex 

Not necessarily in that order 

you know that bad is just dab in reverse 

Like Brylcreem a little dab will do ya 

That dab will do you bad 

Greasy hair and sweat stained pillows 

That's what being bad gets you 

Maybe a bottle of cheap, bad liquor 

Will be enough for tonight 

And I'll forget going out 

I'd be lyin' if I said that the was any 

Point to anything out here anyway 

It's all nada 

I think Ad Nauseam is misspelled it should be

Add Nausea and shake well after drinking too much
