A story told from the point of view of a sneering impersonation of vice
Watch out, you’re gonna find out, you better not mess with me
Watch out, you’re gonna find out, you better just let me be
I’m glad to meet you, my name is vice,
When you first meet me I’ll seem real nice
But before you start with me, you oughta think twice,
‘Cause I really know how to mess up your life
You’ll get to know me a little at a time
“Just try me out, it ain’t such a crime”
But I’ll cut you down right in your prime
And I’ll need you to give me your very last dime
You’ll wonder how things ever got this way,
How you came to arrive at this fateful day
Wishin’ real hard won’t chase me away
Best you get on your knees and pray
