Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns And Money Lyrics






Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

    Warren wrote and performed some kick ass songs. He just couldn't stop with the tobacco. Deep peace to you Warren, RIP

    D.... Q....

    Probably had nothing to do with smoking, even though Warren himself stated on Letterman that it was lung cancer. But it was actually mesothelioma, which usually has little or nothing to do with smoking.

  34. P.... C....

    Excitable Boy, awesome album. If you don't like this, you don't know music. Period.

  35. S.... D....

    I thought that David Johannsen and he shared a house?
    Just another Paige in Lettermans book.

  36. S.... D....

    Oh Wardens still alive.
    Oops. Gulp.

  37. T.... M....

    It appeals to all of me and gives me a nice pompous feel. One of my all-time favorite songs.

  42. 2.... ....

    Gotta thanks my guitar 🎸 par excellence - Mike DeCampo - over here in Brooklyn NYC for turning me onto this song when I was a teenager taking lessons with him. Great hook & adult songwriting for a rocker!👏👏👏

  44. d.... d....

    Ah, what a talent. I hope he's happy realizing how much he's missed.

  45. T.... K....

    "Thank-you Warren...." still makes me laugh when you sing, "the shit has hit the fan." At the time we always said, "the shit is about to hit the fan." and it usually wood. Thank's You Tube....

  46. R.... R....

    Hunter Biden’s theme song.

  70. A.... H....

    💲🙌

  71. J.... K....

    Here in California we didn't know it would turn so bad about this.
    Lies pass for truth and turds pass for cab drivers.
    When Reagan got "elected" in '80 we all knew the shit would hit the fan.
    Of course I voted for Jimmy Carter in '80 and my vote counted.
    Then the Bushes with the invasions in the name of Jesus.
    Lord knows christianity is a family of warmongering hatred.
    We knew known but what could we do? Bullying Christians
    enforcing their chemical factory with a lot of muscle.

  72. M.... O....

    Isn't this the Trump boys theme song? ;)

  73. H.... H....

    Excitable boy was in the first issue of solider and fortune magazine

  74. C.... ....

    This is what white dads who wear new balance shoes listen to.

  75. S.... D....

    Ya notice he resembles Jon Bon Jovi?
    Elton John?
    Bruce Hornsby?

  76. J.... S....

    An anthem for my merc friends while in the Kingdom

  77. J.... K....

    2019 shit hits the fan again. How was I to know she was with the Russians too.
    Lawyers. Guns. Money.
    Straight down on my luck like an innocent bystander in midtown hollywood.
    Stuck between Ripley's and a city bus. Gamblin' in Havana?
    Bullshit it's normal la streets. Honduras? Malarkey.
    Shit sure has hit the fan.

  78. 8.... a....

    Nobody hides in Honduras

    8.... a....

    It's beautiful landscape so why wouldn't you?

    8.... a....

    My remark was written from a place of ignorance. Thank you for making me research Honduras.

  79. R.... A....

    Send It All!!!

  80. *.... r....

    Is that waitress in the beginning AOC? lol I don't care what your politics are that's funny to me cuz she is a bit of a communist.

  81. C.... M....

    Sounds like a mercen-excuse me, "Private Military Contractor", theme song.

    C.... M....

    The best Merc song he ever did is Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, for obvious reasons.

    This seems more like a getting fucked up and getting in trouble song

  82. J.... S....

    $250,000,000lawsuit against Del Norte County attacking you tube and videos that don't belong to me.

  83. J.... S....

    $100,000,000 lawsuit against Crescent City Ca attacking you tube and videos that don't belong to me.

  84. 1.... ....

    spent 3 years in Central America 83-85. This song was our anthem. Looking back now, the song is not ephemeral, it timeless.

  85. R.... N....

    Todd and Tyler Radio Empire brought me here

  86. J.... K....

    1980 now shit has hit the fan. Everyone knows I listen to this
    all the time since then in Los Angeles. I don't use lawyers guns
    or money around here all that much. Just an innocent bystander.
    LA cops ask my opinion about it whenever they want.
    How was I to know that waitress was with the Russians?

  87. F.... M....

    Zevon was brilliant.

  88. R.... M....

    I saw him several times as a solo act which was wonderful. But I wish I had seen him with Waddy and a whole band at least once. I still can as I have almost all his albums but live is different.

  89. P.... A....

    Yes... <3

  90. s.... ....

    Use the money to buy the guns then kill the lawyers.

  91. w.... ....
