Golden G String

I woke up in Montecito
 I was thinkin' about my life
 And the questions made more questions
 Starin' out into the night
 Yes, I've worn the golden G-string
 Put my hand into hellfire
 I did it all to make you love me and to feel alive
 Oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in
 The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin
 You dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
 I should walk away
 Oh, I should walk away
 But I think I'll stay
 There are layers to this body
 Primal sex and primal shame
 They told me I should cover it
 So I went the other way
 I was tryin' to own my power
 Still I'm tryin' to work it out
 And at least it gives the papers somethin' they can write about
 And oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in
 The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin
 And you dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
 I should walk away
 Oh, I should walk away
 But I think I'll stay
 So the mad man's in the big chair
 And his heart's an iron vault
 He says, "If you can't make ends meet, honey, it must be your fault"
 We all focus on the winners
 And get blinded by their shine
 Maybe caring for each other's just too 1969
 But oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in
 The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin
 And you dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
 I should walk away
 Oh, I should walk away
 But I think I'll stay
 
 And I think I'll stay, yeah
 ♪
 I have too much to lose
 ♪
 So I think I'll stay
 I can't walk away
