Lyrics

I look at the mirror
And what do I see?
A man who knows his history
And he's coming after me.
A crime scene from down-under
By a pest chasing a dollar
With fake research delusions
And he's coming after me.
He has a funny style of speech
Like a little lawyer
He's got the information
And he's coming after me.
Small time operator
(It's as plain as it can be)
Masquerades as a truth-teller
And he's coming after me.
Such creatures are
Familiar things,
Bugs that stink, not sting
And they're coming after me.
Do I laugh and hope
That he goes away?
Is that the best way to be
When he's coming after me?
Or take him to a lonely place,
Explain why he annoys;
Offer quiet extinction
And bury him under a tree?
