[Sample]
What business are you in?
[Verse]
Dog eats dog. Give and take - take and giving
Hands that feed. A man's gotta make a living
Charcoal barbecue. Station wagon. Nice dream
Selling cigarettes and men's magazines and ice cream
There's all kinds of hunger pains, enzymes and hormones
500 flavors, hard d** and p**nos
You want it, I got it. Low-life, high-strung
I just wanna watch the game, and get fat and die young
I go to church, pay my taxes, smile nice, won't swear
I don't understand your needs and frankly I don't care
He wants to be a cowboy and she wants to be an actress
I just want to stash some money under my mattress
Wine and candy, fine and dandy. Old and proper unity
Community be damned, I see a golden opportunity
Women with hips and brains instead of scrounging for tips and change
Ships and planes. High heel shoes and whips and chains
[Hook]
Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy
Trashy-trash! Wash the dirty
Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy
Trashy-trash! Wash the dirty
[Verse 2]
Mail order fantasies. Glamour for shipment
Got a good eye for beauty and some camera equipment
My sister's friends call me Mr. Lens. I'm focused
The girl next door becomes a goddess like hocus-pocus
Studio lights and bondage gear hangs on coat hooks
Descriptions of fetishes written down in some notebooks
The customer's always right even if you say it's wrong
I don't always ask questions and the girls just play along
Venus in furs, black nylon, go-go boots
There's always an exuberant mood at the photo shoots
Handcuffs and harnesses. Whatever else if it pleases
Plus, some 8 mm films of some strip teases
Two pretty girls in broad daylight, they might
Play fight and tie each other up if the pay's right
Senators and next door neighbors, it's a funny biz
Not saying that I like it, it's just where the money
[Hook]
Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy
Trashy-trash! Wash the dirty
[Verse 3]
Tore up the rule book. Flaunted convention
Undaunted, drew some unwanted attention
Weirdos and do-gooders, big shots and minimals
Women with serious problems and criminals
Fifty thousand names on the mailing list estimated
Under attack, being tested and investigated
Juvenile delinquency my a**! What is this sh**?
Fought by some of the same men that I do business with
They focus on the negatives, treating us like common crooks
I'm an artist goddammit! They said the same thing about comic books
Who could have guessed it? Created a mob scene
The demand is undeniable, but they say its obscene
Spread eagle, American beauty: Stranger and splendid
Major offended. Naked as nature intended
Leaves a bad taste in some peoples mouths, maybe bitter
Don't want your manure, I'm an entrepreneur not a babysitter...
