The Rat Utopia Experiment - Creature Comfort Lyrics

And this quote is about a young man
He was a young lawyer in New York
He'd married a beautiful girl
And they had a lovely daughter
And then suddenly
She died
And this is what he wrote
This was in his diary

Hey, hey

It was a hot young day in September
When the baby boy was born
Lost his mommy in a car crash
And his daddy's gone to war
He knew that he was destined to do something that was more
But he was pushing drugs
He was rotten to the core

Creature Comfort
No condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is

Hey, hey

It was a cold old day in June
When the rich man came to town
He said, "Listen, boy, I ain't here to f*ck around"
The boy said, "Gosh, I ain't got my law degree"
And the rich man just replied,
"That shit don't matter to me"

Creature Comfort
No Condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature Comfort
They don't care
About your health or your wealth
So grow a f*cking pair

Hey, hey

But it all came crashing down
When the rich man got cocky
The boy ain't gone to law school
And he gets real talky
Their secret is out,
And the rich man is screwed
He tried to cheat the system,
But got spat on and chewed

Creature Comfort
No condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is

Hey, hey

But what of the boy?
Well, the rich man don't care
He leaves him to fend for himself
Don't even spare a prayer
He's pushing,
And drinking,
Man, what a swine
He takes his bloodline down with him
While the rich man stays blind

Creature Comfort
No Condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature Comfort
They don't care
About your health or your wealth
So grow a f*cking pair

Hey, hey

The rich man's in trouble
And he stands before the court
The senator, however,
Likes the man's earnings report
He f*cks his districts and his mistress
The justice system, too
He makes one call, and the rich man's free
Almost like brand-new

Creature Comfort
No Condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature Comfort
They don't care
About your health or wealth
So grow a f*cking pair

Creature Comfort
No Condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature Comfort
They don't care
About your health or wealth
So grow a f*cking pair

I have never obstructed justice (hey, hey)
I think, too, that I can say
That in my years of public life (hey, hey)
That I welcome this kind of examination (hey, hey)
Because people have got to know
Whether or not their president is a crook (hey, hey)
Well, I am not a crook
I've earned everything I've got
