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-cking 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 godd-mn 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-ck 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 h-ll.
stagger lee, you’re a bad, bad man.
oh stagger lee, you’re going strait to h-ll.
