I'm the perfect gentleman Who's trust you all betrayed Satan's little helper With a razor blade A pint of demon rum and some little yellow pills ...help make my thinking clearer ...help me decide if I should k** I'll show you a thing or two With surgical precision And as the blood begins to flow I'll know I made the right decision The final incision
