Model Citizen — текст песни (Warren Zevon)

Don`t bring the milk in
Leave it on the porch
Don`t read the papers
Don`t mow the lawn no more
Drive to the market
At the break of dawn
Watch `em unload the produce
Then ride right back home

It`s the white man`s burden
And it weighs a ton
I`m a family man
Model citizen

Torment the mailman
Terrorize the maid
Try to teach `em some manners
Whip `em into shape
Down in the basement
I`ve got a Craftsman lathe
Show it to the children
When they misbehave

It`s the white man`s burden
And it weighs a ton
I`m a family man
Model citizen

I`m a law-abiding man
I`m a good Samaritan
I pay my taxes when I can
Model citizen

In the cool of the evening
When the sun goes down
My wife`s playing canasta
With everyone in town

When I feel the pressure
And I need a break
Load up the Winnebago
Drive it in the lake

It`s the white man`s burden
And it weighs a ton
I`m a family man
Model citizen
