Their sayin that it’s time to pack it in
but me, I don’t know
a lot has changed since the gang started out
all those years ago
guess you could say that I’ve changed too
but can’t bring myself to say that I’m done
Though I’m not the angry kid in the corner anymore
I’m still the man on the nun
I’ll call you early on a Sunday, or maybe block you on your birthday
battle wrap you in saran
even if they drop the bomb, I’ll still be hitting on your mom
cause you can’t take the jug out of a man
Like putting bullets back in a gun
I can’t stop having all the wrong fun
well the world’s seems warmer with my head on my shoulders
but I’m still the man on the nun
I’ll show up high on our first date, and lose your name along the way
least that’s the way it went with what’s her name
misprint the first line of this song just to use “their” wrong
pacifically to drive you insane
Like putting bullets back in a gun
I can’t stop having all the wrong fun
well the world’s only cold when you’re quote unquote “informed”
take it from the man on the nun
Sorry I missed your call, but I ain’t sorry at all
thank the lord for call display
well I’d love to help you move but I got sweet fuck all to do
and I ain’t got all day
but baby if you got the blues, and you don’t know what to do
then you’ve come to the right place
cause we don’t know either, still we’ll make you a believer
hail mary that the Gang is here to stay
Like putting bullets back in a gun
we can’t stop having all the wrong fun
at the end of the day I’ll gladly laugh my life away
that’s why I’m the man on the nun
life is full or fun so go ahead and get you some,
so sayeth the man on the nun
until I’m in the dirt, I’m gonna strum away the hurt
cause I’m still the man on the nun
