Modern Life Is War - Stagger Lee lyrics

My name is Stagger Lee. And I'm walking through the ice and snow. And my girl threw me out last week. And I'm f**ing broke. Nothing but this dollar in my pocket and my Colt .45. Don't look at me the wrong way... cause I got nothing to lose tonight. I walk into JD's. I put a dollar down. I turn a dollar into a few. I start drinking and I turn around. Cause I feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of my neck. He's whispering to the barkeep. The goddamn fool won't stop staring at me. So I shoot up from my seat and press the cold steel to his head and said "Don't you know who the f** I am?" He said, "Stagger Lee, please don't take my life. I've got a kid back home and I've got a wife." He said, "Please, Stagger, please. I'm a friend, not a foe. But your girl is with Billy at the Flamingo. I just thought you should know." So I pistol whip him in the teeth and walk outside. Steal the first fast car I see. A nd as my blood starts to boil... I start to take a little ride. Leave the car running. Pull down the brim of my Black Stetson Hat. Look around and I see no witness. One last drink from my silver flask. I kick open the door. I see their bodies intertwined. I see the fear in their eyes. I point my Colt .45 and I feel divine. Stagger Lee... you're a bad, bad man. Oh Stagger Lee, you're going straight to hell. x2
