Joe Originattor
stood five foot nine
He quit his job
on the assembly line
Joined a winery
to study making wine
By all accounts
he was doing just fine
But Originattor
had troubles at home
Argued with his wife
whenever alone
Suspicious of her family
on the phone
Felt she talked
in a superior tone
So Joey O. would leave
the house most nights
Visit the local gym
to see the fights
Took an interest in
bright casino lights
Some shady dudes
would cross his sights
He’s gonna cheat who he wants to cheat
gonna beat who he wants to beat
gonna owe who he wants to owe
and gonna go when he wants to go
No Joey no
No need to owe
Wow Joey wow
It's time to let go
No Joey no
No need to owe
Wow Joey wow
It's time to let go
Not long after
Joe got himself in debt
The result of a foolish
all-in bet
So he stole from the vineyard
no regrets
The theft is undiscovered
as of yet
Apparently rumour has it
Joe killed a man
over another gambling
debt he ran
Word on the street was
he owed ten grand
Joe running out of turf
on which to stand
Now Joe’s bed at home
had gone very cold
so he’d buy attention
wherever sold
Consequence-free
he became extra bold
Inevitably
word to his wife was told
He’s gonna cheat who he wants to cheat
gonna beat who he wants to beat
gonna owe who he wants to owe
and gonna go when he wants to go
No Joey no
No need to owe
Wow Joey wow
It's time to let go
No Joey no
No need to owe
Wow Joey wow
It's time to let go
On top of this
Joe angered a main player
He was in too deep
he had no prayer
So he purchased a piece
as days got greyer
Seeing no way out
from his corrupt layer
Joe Originattor
crept home like a stray
Spoke softly to his kids
wrapped in play
Walked to the bedroom
in a sombre way
Was found dead in his bed
the very next day
He’s gonna cheat who he wants to cheat
gonna beat who he wants to beat
gonna owe who he wants to owe
and gonna go when he wants to go
No Joey O., No Joey O., No Joey O., No Joey O...
