NOT ON THE LIST

NOT ON THE LIST

I assumed the mantle of an entitled snob
Pushing toward the bouncer in a tuxedo
Some bruiser of a guy, but it’s just a job

I suspect that he had an unsatisfied libido
Patting down the girls for guns and stuff
But I wonder, why does it affect me so

After a few minutes I had seen enough
I stepped forward with my clenched fist
Hoping after all, that he wasn’t so tough

He smiled that satisfied grin and hissed
Sorry old fellah, you’re not on the list
