First time I shook hands with the man a piece of me was gone But I made a lot of money and the cops left me alone So I shut my mouth and did my work wile the dirty work was done Next time I shook hands with the man just half of me was left And he shook my hand and said I was the best he'd ever met Then he called me a fuckin' punk, and I said, "Yeah sure boss, you bet" Next time I shook hands with the man just a piece of me was here And I couldn't stand the asshole looking at me in the mirror But I had a lot of women and I drank a lot of beer When the man was done with me he showed me to the door So I went back to my little room and I laid down on the floor I laid alone with just myself, but I wasn't there no more
