Mc Lars - Mad Men lyrics

INTRO Mad men, are we really bad men? Lars: Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to tell you a very sad story about capitalism in America in the 1960s The name's Don Draper this is my story The pain and the dreams and the ads and the glory The captain of my ship Sterling Cooper Draper Price The hours are insane but the benefits are nice It's NYC in 63 Willy Lowman – hey that's me I live two lives as you can see Even lied to my family Drinking whiskey till I pa** out on my black couch My secretary wakes me up and I'm out I slept with one and I'll sleep with another Korean War vet with a prostitute mother There's Joan and Peter, Peggy, Roger Everyone is a problem solver Good men? Bad men? You decide We're lost in America trying to get by CHORUS: (x2) Mad Men, are we really bad men? I don't really know But I think it's kind of sad when People say we're Mad Men, are we really bad men? I don't really know But I think it's kind of sad when People call us I'm Roger Sterling, man about town Booze, s**, lies, two ex-wives down I never was faithful, I never was home Maybe that's now why I'm all alone (come on!) Look at me now, I'm not doing so well Things fall apart, and the partners can tell Despised by my daughter, denied to be a father To Red's lovechild, I only want her when I've lost her Lucky Strike's leaving, our best client Begged to stay, they were non-compliant I was quiet, I couldn't hide it The others called me out, and I straight up denied it Heart attack in my office My lifestyle hits me in the face The firm gets sold kind of like my soul So old, I'm gonna die in this place We sell desire, we sell amenities We drive consumption, we brand identities Good men, bad men, you decide We're lost in America, trying to get by REPEAT CHORUS x2 Everything changes, life gets harder Peggy is promoted, Joan makes partner Peter's in LA, Lane Pryce is buried Megan sings "Zou Bisou," now we're married In a dark penthouse I drink back doubts Roger drops acid, Sally acts out I scare away Hershey, colleagues peeved A unanimous vote, and I'm placed on leave Static from a black and white TV screams Dick and Adam Whitman haunt my dreams I've played and I've lost, now all that I've got An empty pack of smokes, a broken bottle of scotch Never seen a want I couldn't sell as a need I'm falling from a skyscraper, picking up speed Good men, bad men, you decide We're lost in a America, trying to get by REPEAT CHORUS x2 OUTRO x2: Good men, bad men, you decide We're lost in America, trying to get by Lars: This week on Mad Men, Roger Sterling does a bunch of horrible things Everyone is surprised, but not that surprised As social issues play out in the background
