[Sample]

What business are you in?

[Verse]

Dog eats dog. Give and take - take and giving

Hands that feed. A man's gotta make a living

Charcoal barbecue. Station wagon. Nice dream

Selling cigarettes and men’s magazines and ice cream

There’s all kinds of hunger pains, enzymes and hormones

500 flavors, hard drugs and pornos

You want it, I got it. Low-life, high-strung

I just wanna watch the game, and get fat and die young

I go to church, pay my taxes, smile nice, won’t swear

I don’t understand your needs and frankly I don't care

He wants to be a cowboy and she wants to be an actress

I just want to stash some money under my mattress

Wine and candy, fine and dandy. Old and proper unity

Community be damned, I see a golden opportunity

Women with hips and brains instead of scrounging for tips and change

Ships and planes. High heel shoes and whips and chains

[Hook]

Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy

Trashy-trash! Wash the dirty

Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy

Trashy-trash! Wash the dirty

[Verse 2]

Mail order fantasies. Glamour for shipment

Got a good eye for beauty and some camera equipment

My sister’s friends call me Mr. Lens. I’m focused

The girl next door becomes a goddess like hocus-pocus

Studio lights and bondage gear hangs on coat hooks

Descriptions of fetishes written down in some notebooks

The customer's always right even if you say it's wrong

I don’t always ask questions and the girls just play along

Venus in furs, black nylon, go-go boots

There’s always an exuberant mood at the photo shoots

Handcuffs and harnesses. Whatever else if it pleases

Plus, some 8 mm films of some strip teases

Two pretty girls in broad daylight, they might

Play fight and tie each other up if the pay’s right

Senators and next door neighbors, it’s a funny biz

Not saying that I like it, it’s just where the money

[Hook]

Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy

Trashy-trash! Wash the dirty

[Verse 3]

Tore up the rule book. Flaunted convention

Undaunted, drew some unwanted attention

Weirdos and do-gooders, big shots and minimals

Women with serious problems and criminals

Fifty thousand names on the mailing list estimated

Under attack, being tested and investigated

Juvenile delinquency my ass! What is this shit?

Fought by some of the same men that I do business with

They focus on the negatives, treating us like common crooks

I’m an artist goddammit! They said the same thing about comic books

Who could have guessed it? Created a mob scene

The demand is undeniable, but they say its obscene

Spread eagle, American beauty: Stranger and splendid

Major offended. Naked as nature intended

Leaves a bad taste in some peoples mouths, maybe bitter

Don’t want your manure, I’m an entrepreneur not a babysitter...
