lyrics

You've got favorable terms on a contract with yourself
I've seen them written all over your face
First sign of slight advantage
I've seen you licking chops and saying grace
anyone who talks to you's
gonna have to learn to pickup the goddamn pace

I remember when I met you
you were smiling trying to keep your teeth from gnashing
I wrote you a receipt
to write your taxes off on someone else's passion
I watched you write me off as trash
and then you gave me twenty extra bucks in cash
hey buddy, thank you

you took your chances just like everyone else
and then you won
there's a hundred fifty people in here
and I guess you're probably better than us all
you're hooking up with models on the regular
got a Basquiat original hanging on your wall

so welcome to your weekend home
we take your abuse
so you don't have to drink alone
and then we thank you

you took your chances just like anybody else
and then you won
