lyrics and music by Warren Zevon
You're supposed to sit on your ass and nod at stupid things
Man, that's hard to do
And if you don't, they'll screw you
And if you do, they'll screw you, too
And I'm standing in the middle of the diamond all alone
I always play to win
When it comes to skin and bone
And sometimes I say things I shouldn't
Like....
And sometimes I say things I shouldn't
Like....
I was 25 when Excitable Boy burst upon the scene (WBCN Boston) and I remember when this tune came out. I still have my copy of Excitable Boy too, excellent album.

when I was 11 I had Bill Lee sign my father's copy of Excitable Boy, before this even came out. I think my dad read somewhere those guys hung out or something and thought it would be funny.
I still have the LP.
