Been There Done That
I’ve even been a corpse for pay
One time they told me to hit the ground
And I, who am that I am, I obeyed
They covered me up with some newspapers
& went about their business filming a scene
For their motion picture
Another time
In a whorehouse in San Antonio
They forced me
To suck a little old woman’s tit
On pain of death
What more do you want me to say?
