lyrics

There's a man in the road selling lies
He's got mercury dimes for eyes
I told him a joke
a riddle I bespoke
But when he laughed
it just made me cry

The word is naked not nude
The world can be fake and so rude
Still I like your attitude
And I like me and you

She laughed and called me a fool
A Shakespearean tool
The shovel's in my hand
but I don't understand
What the work is
I'm supposed to do

The word is naked not nude
The world can be fake
and so rude
Still I like your attitude
And I like me and you

There's a whiskey bottle lying on the floor
But I ain't drinking anymore
It's all in my head at least that's what she said
I believe I've heard it all before

The word is naked not nude
The world is fake and its crude
Still I like your attitude
And I like me and you
