Austin Lounge Lizards - Maverick: A Love Song
But being independent didn't pay
And I was destined to deserve much more
So I became what they paying for
Since I abandoned my ideals
I can't begin to tell you how relieved I feel
I'll give you one piece of free advice:
When you sell your soul, get an awesome price
(He was a maverick)
But it didn't pay
(He was a maverick)
My conscience got in my way
(He was a maverick)
Now it's gone to stay
Call the tune and watch me play
On stage, but behind the scenes
I create big lies for the TV screens
In my tie-dye shirt and faded jeans
While listening to Rage Against the Machine
And if you've got the money, you can be my friend
Even if you're evil, I'll make sure you win
Getting the means justifies the ends
The lord has bought me that Mercedes Benz
(He was a maverick)
But it didn't pay
(He was a maverick)
My conscience got in my way
(He was a maverick)
Now it's gone to stay
Call the tune and watch me play
I hire progressively
My girls compliment my creativity
Tell me I'm a mighty potentate
Stroke my ego so it won't deflate
Became advisor to the president
Got to go everywhere he went
I played in a foursome with him just last fall
He let me carry his clubs and wash his balls
And if he ever wants to get in touch with me
I glued my pager to my own anatomy
Every time he buzzes me, I jump so high
He tells me, "Maverick, you're my go-to guy"
(He was a maverick)
And I say, "Yes, sir!"
(He was a maverick)
Absolutely! I concur
(He was a maverick)
Fling close to the sun
Looking out for number one
(He was a maverick)
But it didn't pay
(He was a maverick)
My conscience got in my way
(He was a maverick)
Now it's gone to stay
Call the tune and watch me play
Call the tune and watch me play
