Model Citizen Lyrics by Warren Zevon

Model Citizen Lyrics

    Don't bring the milk in
    Leave it on the porch
    Don't read the papers
    Don't mow the lawn no more
    Drive to the market
    At the break of dawn
    Watch 'em unload the produce
    Then ride right back home

    It's the white man's burden
    And it weighs a ton
    I'm a family man
    Model citizen

    Torment the mailman
    Terrorize the maid
    Try to teach 'em some manners
    Whip 'em into shape
    Down in the basement
    I've got a Craftsman lathe
    Show it to the children
    When they misbehave

    It's the white man's burden
    And it weighs a ton
    I'm a family man
    Model citizen

    I'm a law-abiding man
    I'm a good Samaritan
    I pay my taxes when I can
    Model citizen

    In the cool of the evening
    When the sun goes down
    My wife's playing canasta
    With everyone in town

    When I feel the pressure
    And I need a break
    Load up the Winnebago
    Drive it in the lake

    It's the white man's burden
    And it weighs a ton
    I'm a family man
    Model citizen
