Bird on a Wire |
He offered them a good ride on* |
To help them save the family farm |
For ergo he was damn near good as rain |
Then came the time for them to choose |
An offer they could not refuse |
With easy-outs and capital gain |
No one has a suspicious feelin |
You really couldn’t call it stealin' |
He did it with a style most would admire |
But he had picked 'em off like a bird on a wire |
He had open fire on a bird on a wire |
A nudge a wink and they’d be gettin higher |
He whipped out his fountain pen |
While the tears were gettin' drier |
And then he picked 'em off like a bird on a wire |
There ain’t a kid with a BB gun |
Or an alley cat with room to run |
Who could bring 'em down like they was out for hire |
Yeah, he could pick 'em off like a bird on a wire |
He went golfing everyday |
They voted while he was away |
Though technically he’s chairman of the board |
They had become avaricious |
Leaving him to do the dishes |
They introduced him to his new landlord |
Who told him his time came and went |
Their office in the orient |
Would send him checks for soon he would retire |
Yeah, they had picked him off like a bird on a wire |
They had open fire on the bird on a wire |
He was sleeping they were getting higher |
They polished up their macintosh while his ass was in the mire |
And then they picked him off like a bird on a wire |
There ain’t a kid with a BB gun |
Or an alley cat with room to run |
Who could bring 'em down like they was out for hire |
Yeah, they could pick 'em off like a bird on a wire |
