Louis is probably thirty years old but he looks like a solid 45

Louis says he's got a headache

I look in his eyes, and I believe him

The big L.K.'s and the gangster disciples

Louis can't think of who else could take over, but he just can't

Get up in the morning

A genuine face, braced for survival



It's nice to be liked

But it's better by far to get paid

I know that most of the friends that I have don't really see it

That way

But if you could give 'em each one wish

How much do you wanna bet

They'd wish success for themselves and their friends and

That would include lots of money



Don't know how many times you were stuck in the morning

You just couldn't move, though your mother was calling

You know, what you need

Is a Lotto revival

A train flashes by and you're lost in a spiral



It's nice to be liked

But it's better by far to get paid

I know that most of the friends that I have don't really see it

That way

But if you could give 'em each one wish

How much do you wanna bet

They'd wish success for themselves and their friends and

That would include lots of money



Take the train on up to the zoo, don't look back

On what you've been through

Cause everyone's got a Monday

It looks like shit and it must be America

It burns so quick, then it must be America



It's nice to be liked

But it's better by far to get paid

I know that most of the friends that I have don't really see it

That way

But if you could give 'em each one wish

How much do you wanna bet

They'd wish success for themselves and their friends and

That would include lots of money



We all need a shitload of M-O-N-E-Y, money
