Mr Raffles (Man, It Was Mean)
Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for Lent you must've known that it was EasterThere for a while, in your smile, I could see Mexico blood say"This is true I was a Teaser"There were a thousand Manitas, being exchanged for Pesetas Man! It was hard not to laugh out loudI couldn't believe the size of the crowdYou must have fooled them into comingWow! There were women and children, tooThey would have hanged us if they knewI think I know for certainInside you sniggered so hearty, you only came for the partyMan, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was meanRemember the time, what a time, we had down in Barcelona after you'd been slaying babiesThere, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises, but I never thought of smashing rulesYou wore the yellow bandana and gave out Heavenly MannaThen in Amsterdam you were perfect funYou never let on you had a gun and then you shot that Spanish DancerSongtexteThe speed at which we ran for a mile or two, they would have crucified us if they knewI think I know for certainInside you sniggered so hearty, we only killed for the partyMan, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was meanMan, show me something I've never seen, you're only real in yourDream MachineAnd all your games are a little drasticJust throw me out if I get obscene but that's the way that I've always beenI think I know for certainInside you sniggered so hearty, we're only living a partyMan, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was meanWe're having a party,Ooh ooh, We're having a party.
