Mama is having troubles,
It always comes from me
Your daddy´s been a drinker
Since nineteen forty-three
They tell you I´m a loser
´Cause I like see ´em breed
But truth is in the mirror
Is one thing never seen
I sing Yeah
Long time ago
You tried to tell me, son
People tried to hold on
I said no no, no no
No, I don´t mind them saying
That you should be praying
For me, fast taker
Right here´s where I´m staying
Life´s a game I play
For keeps, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away
Only sixteen
A woman, not a girl
Old enough
For a trip around the world
Pick you up on Friday
When your daddy goes to sleep
Bring you back on Sunday
When he´s watching "Billy Graham" on T.V.
Oh yeah, he won´t see me
Now do it right with music
Then you learn how to abuse it
All night, fast taker
Right here´s where I´m staying
Life´s a game I play
For peace, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away
