lyrics

Here
In this chair
Sits my conscience
Is it there?

Put your money on the table
Lie your gun on the ground
Time to get the party going
Bring out the bloodhounds

Ban, bang, get on the floor
Catch him running out the door
Grab the shaver and the plastic sword
Cuz he's driving away in the Honda Accord

Now in the warp zone
Which path will you choose
One leads to the ocean, another to the sea
One for the devil & the warlock in me

Bang Bang
Bang Bang

Ban, bang, get on the floor
Catch him running out the door
Grab the shaver and the plastic sword
Cuz he's driving away in the Honda Accord
Grab the shaver

Cuz he's driving away
In the Honda Accord
He's got all the stereo equipment
That money can afford
He's got more dough
Than Maria's got Shriver
She had a date
With the guy from MacGuyver
