Todd Snider - Framed Lyrics

HANGING AROUND DOWN ON SOMETHING TO DO STREET
I'M LIKE THE FIRST DOLLAR BILL THAT THEY FRAME
WATCHING MEDIA COVERAGE OF MEDIA COVERAGE
OF SOME KID WHO CAN'T MAKE PEACE WITH FAME
IT MUST BE TOUGH, MAN
THE PAPARAZZI AND STUFF, MAN

OVER SERVING MY COUNTRY UNDER GENERAL MALAISE
HE SAID HE WASN'T MAKING PEACE UNTIL THEY PAID HIM A RAISE
HE SAID THAT KILLING WAS PAYING LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
IF PEACE PAID WE'D HAVE IT MADE BY NOW
WE'D HAVE IT NEW AND IMPROVED BY NOW
IF IT PAID ANY

I TOOK A BETTER JOB POURING FLUORIDE IN THE WATER
FOR THE SON OF THE BILDERBEG'S ONLY DAUGHTER
I SAID HOW DO YOU KNOW
SHE SAID YOU KNOW HOW YOU JUST
KNOW SOMETHING IN YOUR GUT
THAT YOU JUST GOTTA TRUST
WELL IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT
WE ARE JUST RICH AS ALL FUCK IS ALL

SETTING THE LONDON BANK ASSOCIATION LIABLE RATE
FRAMED FOR CALLING OUT THE UNITED STATES
ALL TIME PRISON TIME WARTIME ECONOMY
NOW IT ALL SEEM SO FAR OFF OF THE WALL TO ME TO ME
I'M WATCHING EVERY DOLLAR MAKE CHANGE BUT ME
I'VE BEEN FRAMED
I'VE BEEN FRAMED
I'M LIKE THE FIRST DOLLAR BILL ON THE WALL
FRAMED
