Song Lyrics
Model citizen, it s the white man s burden
Then ride right back home, when i feel the pressure
When they misbehave, down in the basement
Whip em into shape, drive it in the lake, down in the basement
Model citizen, i pay my taxes when i can
And it weighs a ton, it s the white man s burden
I m a good samaritan, don t bring the milk in, i m a family man
I m a family man, in the cool of the evening
my wife s playing canasta
show it to the children
Watch em unload the produce, when i feel the pressure Model, it s the white man s burden
I pay my taxes when i can, down in the basement Zevon, show it to the children
drive it in the lake
Drive it in the lake, and it weighs a ton, down in the basement
when they misbehave
i pay my taxes when i can
Don t mow the lawn no more, at the break of dawn Zevon, don t bring the milk in
Don t bring the milk in, load up the winnebago
I m a family man, it s the white man s burden
down in the basement
i m a family man
Drive it in the lake, i ve got a craftsman lathe
i m a family man
i m a good samaritan
And it weighs a ton, at the break of dawn
Show it to the children, show it to the children, don t read the papers
I m a law-abiding man, leave it on the porch, torment the mailman
Don t mow the lawn no more, i ve got a craftsman lathe Citizen, and it weighs a ton
drive to the market
Down in the basement, then ride right back home
at the break of dawn
It s the white man s burden, when they misbehave
And it weighs a ton, don t mow the lawn no more, terrorize the maid
When they misbehave, in the cool of the evening
And it weighs a ton, it s the white man s burden Zevon, don t mow the lawn no more
down in the basement
And it weighs a ton, it s the white man s burden Model, i ve got a craftsman lathe
And it weighs a ton, it s the white man s burden Citizen, and it weighs a ton
And i need a break, leave it on the porch, then ride right back home
Show it to the children, i m a family man Model, i m a good samaritan
and i need a break
I pay my taxes when i can, terrorize the maid
Leave it on the porch, i m a family man, model citizen
drive to the market
With everyone in town, i m a family man, with everyone in town
I pay my taxes when i can, i m a law-abiding man, it s the white man s burden
It s the white man s burden, model citizen
My wife s playing canasta, model citizen
When the sun goes down, i m a family man
Down in the basement, it s the white man s burden, drive to the market
don t read the papers
torment the mailman
i m a good samaritan
With everyone in town, in the cool of the evening
