Playboy Rock

A hundred practiced gestures
Get you through the day
Your eyes are calm and steady
They don’t give you away
And when you’re feeling evil
You tell yourself you’re not

But before you strut and brag about the bag of tricks you’ve got
Catch yourself a whiff of this playboy rock!


You’re busy with your business
To try to tap the top
Your money makes more money
No signs say you should stop
Fleecing spending trendies—
Another bumper crop

But before you flap a flag about the prizes in your pot
Snatch yourself a glimpse of this playboy rock!

Sometimes nasty flashes
Visit you in bed
A raging mob of losers
Is hunting for your head
They’re just about to get you—
Then you wake in shock

But before you try to hide behind a heavy double lock
Give a little listen to this playboy rock!


You say you’re not a killer
Just a strategist
A step ahead of those fools
Nothing’s wrong with this
What about those scumbags
Who peddle drugs—my god!

But before you huff a list of all the ugly things you’re not
Slip into a bit of this playboy rock!
