lyrics

Take a hardcore son of a gun like me
Mix a case of beer and a liter of whiskey
I'm in love with the way that it's making me feel
Fantasy grabs hold and molds what's real

It's all over the news / In the paper it says
Citizen unknown / Muddled thoughts in their head
Lock up your doors / Locate your kids
The silent auction is on / And I'm making my bid

The difference between
Conformists and me
They're all sleepin'
While I'm gone perpetratin'

The difference between
Straight shooters and me
Dead aim's costly
While I'm gone perpetratin'

You got got which you just don't get
Veins pulsin' and poppin' out of your neck
The best ruse crackles loudly with a lit fuse
Do the dont's and fuck the do's

Oh I foretell your ears / Won't hear the talk in my mind
Get the feeling you're fine / Til you come to find
A whiff of the truth / A sour taste of my kind
Then you'll finally see / That I've been robbing you blind

Chorus:
The difference between
A killjoy and me
The smile I'm smilin'
While I'm gone perpetratin'

The difference between
These white sheep and me
Black wool cloaks
While I'm gone perpetratin'

Verse:
Extremes surround the in between
Closing in and causing a scene

Bridge:
Had an ounce of class / It was cramping my style
Tried to be mature / Got old after a while
Steadfastly stubborn / Uncontrollably vile
Not to toot my own horn / But I'm a steaming pile

Chorus:
The difference between
A criminal and me
They're in cuffs
While I'm gone perpetratin'

The difference between
A hooligan and me
Is absolutely nothin'
While I'm gone perpetratin'

Gone
