You hear something stupid And you realize it's coming from your mouth So you think that you can solve it all By packin' up and moving farther south But the devil's down there too And he's comin' after you You'll be bellyachin' that it's always hot Like it or not The witnesses will all be waiting For the chance to be the first to squeal As you're goin' through your souvenirs To help decide what is and isn't real There are tickets torn in half And a yellow photograph Of you pointin' to the place you heard the shot Like it or not They ask you why you did it And the word that you come up with is "because" Eventually your memory goes And everything seems better than it was But it wasn't easy getting here And the final scene you fear Has them laughing as they drop you in your plot Like it or not
