"Got a call from my old friend Jake / He said babe, there's a deal to make / Shit is starting to break down in Bulgaria / Got a friend who works in FM / She said she'd grease the skids if we cut her in / What in sin, down in Bulgaria / Count on me / You know, it really doesn't if the price is right / You can count on me to make a deal / And if blood spills / Well we can't change the world / We can't change the world / but baby life is rich / at least we'll change our market share" and it goes on from there. Wow.
