Some Rotten Man

Some Rotten Man - The Taxpayers

They stuck you in the dirt while I was still away

But nobody had the decency to tell me about it anyways

Well I guess it's for the best

That they laid you down to rest

Without some wreck like me to ruin things

And turn into a mess

While I remember when we ran away

And the car we stole broke down

Along some dusty desert highway with nobody else around

So we hitched a ride to Reno

But the ring I got you wouldn't fit

And the minister got drunk before

And we laughed 'til we got sick

And of course I know you could have done much better

And I know that I must have been your bad habit

Some rotten man

Nobody's savior

Your oldest friend

I haven't slept the same since you been gone

And when I do sleep the nightmares come

This hell I live in hasn't been the same

Without you here

Our daughter still won't speak to me

My letters aren't returned at all

I can't believe the mess I've made to face

And of course I know you could have done much better

And I know that I must have been

A real f**king nightmare

Some rotten man

Nobody's savior

Your oldest friend
