about

A song about a disturbed chap.

lyrics

I see you standing all alone
looking at your mobile phone
i think that i should bring you home
and take sweet loving care of you

but you say that you're doing fine
right as rain and i'm inclined to
listen to the words you say
and let you go your merry way

but mr adams has another plan
and i must obey all his commands
you don't see the rag inside hand
one whiff and you're unconscious
and thrown inside my lorry

Mr Adams is pretend
but nonetheless my only friend
he lives deep down inside my brain
Only he can ease my pain
he is better than my dad
keeps my safe from doing bad
the work of god is what i do
i rid the world of folks like you

my father said had to go
when i was just five years old
my mother gave me all the blame
and beat me in to utter shame

i used to cry most every night
into my pillow held so tight
deep down i knew these assaults
were not really my own fault

one day mother hit me in the head
the bleeding in my brain became widespread
i saw stars and thought she'd left me dead
but Mr Adams saved the day
by helping me get even.

Mr Adams is pretend
but nonetheless my only friend
he lives deep down inside my brain
Only he can ease my pain
he is better than my dad
keeps my safe from doing bad
the work of god is what i do
i rid the world of folks like you


Mr Adams visits every night
and gives me the courage so i can do whats right


Mr adams has a plan
his Facebook page, well im a fan
humankind will end up dull
unless the wicked ones are culled

So we go out every day
and try to trim some fat away
and the truth if I may say
I've gotten rather good at it

I fear the law is gaining close behind
and under my back porch i fear they'll find
examples of the lovely peace of mind
afforded by the folks i've buried

Mr Adams is pretend
but nonetheless my only friend
he lives deep down inside my brain
Only he can ease my pain
he is better than my dad
keeps my safe from doing bad
the work of god is what i do
i rid the world of folks like you
