PRIMUS - Golden Boy lyrics

rate me

He was a mighty golden boy, as gold as ever seen,<br>But when he stepped up to the podium, you could tell that boy was mean.<br>His arms was made of nickel, and his forehead made of wood.<br>An affidavit from the principal says,this boy just ain't no good.<br>He stood before the union, and he made a solemn oath.<br>Uphold the purity of his creed, the others he would toast.<br>He worked nights at the liquor mart, and he drank to pad his pay.<br>When he caught him lifting 40s, he shot a boy last may.<br>His momma asked why? <br>His lawyer in the courtroom, made a noble plea.<br>And the judge he gave him eighteen months, but he was out in three.<br>When asked if he ever felt remorse while sittin' up in that pen.<br>He said hell no, ya know a thief's a thief.<br>And I'd shoot that fucker again.
