you buy me dinner when i m in town talk about records that you know lay the friendship card upon me and out the door somebody said we hurt your feelings with our little dirty jokes then you accused us of stealing back our soul then you say that we re the assholes cause we bitched about the hassles while you re sleeping in your castles and we re still riding down the road i hear you re all offended by the letters that i wrote it s just a shame it hadn t ended long ago then you sicked your lawyers on me told them to go for the throat and you just sat back and watched them have a go then you say that we re the assholes but i never would deny we have our share of the blame to absorb but when you say that you re the reason for the things that we ve achieved i want to kick down your door you like to say that we re the assholes as if we somehow done you wrong we just do what we have to to carry on i m sure you ll find another asshole to replace us for a song you ll keep your office and expense account and we ll keep traveling along when you say that we re all assholes guess it d be useless to deny i m just saying you re the reason why
