    Lyrics
    Do as I say not as I do because
    The shit's so deep you can't run away
    I beg to differ on the contrary
    I agree with every word that you say
    Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
    My wallet's fat and so is my head
    Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
    I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb

    Standards set and broken all the time
    Control the chaos behind a gun
    Call it as I see it even if
    I was born deaf, blind and dumb
    Losers winning big on the lottery
    Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
    Constant refutation with myself
    I'm a vicitm of a catch 22

    I have no belief
    But I believe
    I'm a walking contradiction
    And I ain't got no right

    Do as I say not as I do because
    The shit's so deep you can't run away
    I beg to differ on the contrary
    I agree with every word that you say
    Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
    My wallet's fat and so is my head
    Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
    I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb

    I have no belief
    But I believe
    I'm a walking contradiction
    And I ain't got no right

    I have no belief
    But I believe
    I'm a walking contradiction
    And I ain't got no right
