about

"Scourge of the Nation" is a reverse rags to riches story.

lyrics

He went from zero to be swimming in the dollars
Rags to riches in forty seconds flat
He donned the bling and the diamond-stud collars
The world was his welcome mat
But that was zen and this is now! Holy cow!
He had cars, he had bars, he had babes and guitars
He had power and fame ~ He was tops in the news
He was dabbling in drugs ~ He was drowning in booze
First they built him up to be an overnight sensation
Next day they are calling him the Scourge of the Nation

His spirits went down as the bills piled up
There was no more Cristal in his gold-plated cup
The Repo Man brought fleets of vans and wheeled up to his door
Clipped his wings, stripped his bling and towed his '98 Porsche

Cameras, cameras everywhere! But not a safe location
Vultures often love to bleed a carcass where it falls
First they built him up to be an overnight sensation
Next day they are calling him the Scourge of the Nation
First they built him up to be an overnight sensation
Next day they are calling him the Scourge of the Nation
