    Lyrics
    High on a low life
    Hit me with a dull knife
    Sweet soul sickness
    Can I get a witness?

    This is the wild life, I'm gonna take a dive
    Take the money and crawl
    Do I dare say "please" when I'm on my knees?
    Take the money and crawl

    Illegal tender
    Goin' on a bender
    Cold-blooded killers
    Of all motherfuckers

    Well, I'm a nervous wreck, enough to make you sick
    Take the money and crawl
    Oh yeah, it's just my luck, but I don't give a fuck
    Take the money and crawl

    (Hey, hey)
    (Hey, hey)
    (Hey, hey)

    This is the wild life, I'm gonna take a dive
    Take the money and crawl
    Do I dare say "please" when I'm on my knees?
    Take the money and crawl
    So you can take a walk, or you can suck my cock
    Take the money and crawl
    Oh yeah, it's just my luck, but I don't give a fuck
    Take the money and crawl
