"Creature Comfort" lyrics

And this quote is about a young man
He was a young lawyer in New York
He'd married a beautiful girl
And they had a lovely daughter
And then suddenly, she died
And this is what he wrote (Hey, hey)
This was in his diary
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

It was a hot young day in September when the baby boy was born
Lost his mommy in a car crash and his daddy's gone to war
He knew that he was destined to do something that was more
But he was pushing drugs, he was rotten to the core

Creature comfort, no condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is

Hey, hey

It was a cold old day in June when the rich man came to town
He said, "Listen, boy, I ain't here to fuck around"
The boy said, "Gosh, I ain't got my law degree"
And the rich man just replied, "That shit don't matter to me"

Creature comfort, no condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature comfort, they don't care
About your health or your wealth, so grow a fucking pair

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

But it all came crashing down when the rich man got cocky
The boy ain't gone to law school and he gets real talky
Their secret is out and the rich man is screwed
He tried to cheat the system, but got spat on and chewed

Creature comfort, no condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

But what of the boy? Well, the rich man don't care
He leaves him to fend for himself, don't even spare a prayer
He's pushing and drinking, man, what a swine
He takes his bloodline down with him while the rich man stays blind

Creature comfort, no condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature comfort, they don't care
About your health or your wealth, so grow a fucking pair

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

The rich man's in trouble and he stands before the court
The senator, however, likes the man's earnings report
He fucks his districts and his mistress, the justice system too
He makes one call and the rich man's free, almost like brand-new

Creature comfort, no condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature comfort, they don't care
About your health or your wealth, so grow a fucking pair
Creature comfort, no condolences
Gotta show up to whoever's poll it is
Creature comfort, they don't care
About your health or your wealth, so grow a fucking pair

I have never obstructed justice (Hey, hey)
I think, too, that I can say that in my years of public life (Hey, hey)
That I welcome this kind of examination (Hey, hey)
Because people have gotta know whether or not their president is a crook (Hey, hey)
Well, I am not a crook, I've earned everything I've got
