Primus - Golden Boy lyrics

He was a mighty golden boy
As gold as ever seen
When he stepped up to the podium
You could tell that boy was mean

His arms was made of nickel
His forehead made of wood
An affidavit from the principal says
"This boy just ain't no good" ain't no good

He stood before the union
And he made a solemn oath
Uphold the purity of his creed
And the others he would toast
He worked nights at the liquor mart
And he drank to pad his pay
When he caught him liftin' 40's
He shot a boy last May

His momma asked, "Why?"

His lawyer in the courtroom made a noble plea
And the judge had gave him eighteen months
But he was out in three
When asked if he ever felt remorse
While sittin' up in that pen
He said, "Hell no, y'know, a thief's a
Thief, and I'd shoot that fucker again
Yes I would"

His momma asked, "Why?"
His momma asked, "Why?"
