Bad Apples

[Verse 1] Diamonds and fast cars, money to burn I got my head in the clouds, I got these thoughts to churn Got my feet in the sand, I got a house on the hill I got a headache like a mother twice the price of my thrills [Pre-Chorus] And it's a cold day in the continental drift I said this traffic is hell, can you give me a lift? And I'll try to paint a story, got your pictures to tell Yeah, you got to make a livin' with what you bring yourself to sell [Verse 2] I got some genuine, imitation bad apples Free sample for your peace of mind, only $9.95 [Pre-Chorus] I got my camera back from customs, got my law fees up to date Hell, they must've seen me comin', ain't this life so fuckin' great? [Chorus] When the shit hit the fan, it was all I could stand, yeah Well, I'm a frequent flyer My body's breathin' while it can but what I don't understand is that My world ain't gettin' no brighter If I could touch the sky, well, I would float on by While everybody's talkin', hell, I'm just another guy If it were up to me, I'd say, just leave me be Why let one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch? [Verse 3] Gold and caviar Now, won't you pour my apathy? I'd have all the bases covered If I could teach my hands to see [Pre-Chorus] Now, we're down in the deep end where they'd love to watch you drown I said, your laundry could use washing, we'll hang it up all over town I said, Hollywood's like a dryer an' we're down on Sunset Strip An' you'll be suckin' down the Clorox 'til your life's all nice and crisp [Chorus] When the shit hits the fan, it was all I could stand, yeah I'm a frequent flyer My body's breathin' while it can but what I don't understand is that My world ain't gettin' no brighter If I could touch the sky, I would float on by While everybody's talkin', hell, I'm just another guy If it were up to me, I'd say, just leave me be Why let one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch? [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] When the shit hits the fan, it was all I could stand, yeah I'm a frequent flyer My body's breathin' while it can but what I don't understand is that My world ain't gettin' no brighter If I could touch the sky, I would float on by While everybody's talkin', hell, I'm just another guy If it were up to me, I'd say, just leave me be Why let one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch? Why let that one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch? [Outro] Boy!
