Verse 1 w/Progression 2:

Bored stiff with my wallet fat
I ordained myself a diplomat
bought a plane and some aerosol
sprayed my name on China’s Wall

Verse 2 w/Progression 2:
Then I pissed all over the Kremlin steps
punched a monk in Tibet
got drunk and disordered in the old Big Apple
passed gas in the Cistine Chapel

Verse 3 with Progression 3:
I’ve thrown darts at the Mona Lisa
tied lead weights to the tower of Pisa
sold salt water in the big Sahara
then I took a shit in the Riviera

Asshole World Renown

Progression 2, one time no vocal

Verse 4 with Progession 2:

Went to Rome and spread V.D.
robbed the homeless in Tahiti
was slapped by a woman in the great Euphrates
kidnapped kids in the slums of Haiti

Verse 5 with Progression 2:
Play high E string open on all chords

Poisoned livestock in Korea
tainted foodshelves in Tanzania
torched Saigon like a Buddhist pyro
slashed tires in the streets of Cairo

Verse 6 with Progression 2:
keep playing F# at “my bare hands”
right into the next verse.

I chucked eggs at Castro’s doorway
I once puked on the king of Norway
for eighteen days I roamed Japan
choking little kittens with my bare hands

Verse 7 with Progression 3:

Stuck my gum on Venus De Milo
did Zimbabwe shooting rhinos
ran nude straight through Nepal
spit my chew in the Taj Mahal

Asshole World Renown
