One thing was leading to the next
I bit off more than I could chew
I had the power to sign the cheques
It wasn’t difficult to do
I couldn’t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won’t be sending postcards
From Paraguay

I robbed a bank full of dinero
A great big mountain of dough
So it was goodbye companero
And cheerio
I couldn’t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won’t be sending postcards
From paraguay

I never meant to be a cheater
But there was blood on the wall
I had to steal from peter
To pay what I owed to paul
I couldn’t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won’t be sending postcards
From paraguay

    Unlikely to be Kenneth Lay and Enron, seeing as how his death (or faked death and exile to Paraguay) was in 2006 and this album was released in 2004.
