Beck — Mexico

Come gather 'round me people, here's a story you never heard 'Bout me and my friends and some shit that occured We thought we'd take a trip We thought that we would go Spend a weekend pleasant down in Mexico Well I was workin' at McDonald's, doin' the late night run When a car pulled up the drive-thru and pointed out a gun Said, "Give us all your money And three Big Macs to go" I stuffed them all in a bag and I ducked down below Well the boss got angry when he found out I didn't call the police I guess I was kinda nervous, there was a warrant out on me Concerning some jaywalking tickets I couldn't afford to pay Needless to say, I got the axe that same day Well me bein' out of work just then, I didn't want to go home My mom said if I lost this job, I'd have to go out on my own So I went over to Dave's house And got really stoned Called up some girls but none of them were home Well, Steve came over and he brought some alcohol We're all gettin' really depressed just starin' at the wall Well we thought we'd get some money We thought that we might go Spend a weekend pleasant down in Mexico Steve's dad had a huntin' rifle and we went and picked it up We went, stopped into the 7-11 to try our luck We raised up that huntin' rifle But the counter guy just laughed As he pulled out an uzi we turned and hauled ass We were runnin' so fast till we came to the McDonald's where I worked We walked up to the drive-thru and gave my boss a jerk Said, "Give us all your money And three Big Macs to go And suck on this you weasel, we're goin' to Mexico" We all got really wasted down south, Dave got a case of the runs We're all really hungover and gettin' low on funds Dave and Steve called their parents And took the bus back home Me, I got a job at McDonald's down in Mexico
