I HAVE LED A GOOD LIFE (STUPID'S SONG) (Utah Phillips)
I have led a good life full of peace and quiet Now I shall have an old age full of rum and riot Yes, I have been a good lad, careful and artistic Now I shall have an old age coarse and anarchistic
Once I paid my taxes and followed every rule Banker, boss, and bureaucrat thought me a willing tool I voted Democratic and paid the church its due Now all those swine will have to find some other chump to screw
Of interest, banks and credit, insurance, tax and rent Of lawyers, agents, generals, and clerics I repent With this [mono digital expletive] for corporations and scorn for those elected I shall be an old bum, loved but unrespected
