The Assassination Of Sweet Lou Diablo

Call your lawyer friend
He's a winner
And he'll get you through the night
They'll change their minds
Behind enemy lines
And give out fifty-dollar advice

They voted you in
You're the choice of the people
Hey, boy, what you gonna say?
They voted you in
You're the talk of the nation
Now we're betting on your assassination

Don't look down, you might
See the bottom
And the bottom is about to drop out
And as you scrape, crawl
Steal more, squeal
Virtue, son, is all that you got

You've gone from high-powered and well-schooled
To deflowered, retooled
Well-bred, well-fed, yeah
It's been well said you're well-read
High-strung, well-hung
A winner from stern to stem

They voted you in
As the pride of the nation
Hey boy, what you gonna say?
They voted you in
As the talk of the nation
Now we're drinking to your assassination

Yeah, we're drinking to your assassination
Assassination, assassination
Assassination, your assassination
Assassination, assassination
Assassination, your assassination
