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 flavours, hard drugs and pornos
You want it, I got it, low-life and 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, she wants to be an actress
I just wanna stash the 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 chain

Flashy-flash
Watch the birdy
Trashy-trash
Wash the dirty

Mail order fantasies, glamour for shipment
I 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 ask questions, and the girls just play along
Venus in furs, black nylon, go-go boots
There's always an exuberant mood on the photo shoots
Handcuffs and harnesses, whatever else if it pleases
Plus some 8mm films of some stripteases
Two pretty girls in broad daylight, they might
Play fight and tie each other up if the pay's right
Senators and next door neighbours, it's a funny biz
Not saying that I like it, it's just where the money is

Flashy-flash

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
