When I was young and in my prime I ran the wild west.
Now I’m slinging snake oil cuz this grift has served me best.
My back hurts, my dick don’t work, and my boots are wearing through.
All these tribulations but what did I ever do?
Gather round and hear the tale of William the Child
I used to...
I used to gun those outlaws down and watch them bleed out in the street,
A grin would split my features when they groveled at my feet.
Their comrades looked on helpless, they could only writhe in pain,
There was nothing left to bury, I put them to the flame
The sheriff biz don't pay no more, folks say we lost their trust.
I had to give up killing, now my pistol's gone to rust.
I didn't think it wise for them to make us hang it up.
Who will keep them safe from the immoral outlaw scum?
Back in my day…
Back in my day anyone who crossed my path risked sudden violent death.
Now I'm reprimanded for the whiskey on my breath.
What the fuck's the issue? I cleaned up this worthless town.
If you won't pay for me to keep the peace
I'll tear the fucker down.
