Lyric of the day
From SMASHMOUTH's Padrino:
Everyone knows that crime does not pay
It doesn't pay the taxes anyway
This caught my notice while I was listening to the 'pod at my desk (oh, right; new job, like it fine so far). A song about the mob. Hah. Some other lines, that could as well be about the ubermob (government) as any small-time mafia:
I know it's not a wise thing to do
Writing funny songs about the mob
But if it's all the same to you
I don't see it as a gang but a club
Where men sit like gentlemen
Plotting their events about
Things I shouldn't understand comprehend or care
Like...oh, I don't know maybe I shouldn't go there
After all it is a family affair ¶ 11:50 PM
Everyone knows that crime does not pay
It doesn't pay the taxes anyway
