Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, pour me another drink
And punch me in the face
You can call me Nancy
Every man wears a symbol
And I know I have mine
I've got my right hand stamped
In the concentration camp
Where my organs scream, "Slow down, man!"
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
How was I to know?
Milk and honey flow
Just a couple states below
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Oh, hook me up to the tank
And roll me to the door
I'm going where my body leads me
I can fend for myself
With what looks I have left
I'll put away a few
And pretty soon
I'll be breaking things like Howard Hughes
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
How was I to know?
Milk and honey flow
Just a couple states below
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Give me how it was
A place under the sun
Before the devil made me run
Run boy
Run boy
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
