The Question (Obviously)

[Verse 1]
I’d rather be an outlaw
Than to be a drag queen’s knave
I read the ads for lovers
But all they want are slaves
I’d rather be an artist
If they’d let me paint the town
You know, I’d even be a fireman
If they’d let me burn it down

[Chorus]
But when I popped the question
You could barely hear 'em say
Don’t go lookin’ for trouble
It will find you anyway

[Verse 2]
I’d rather been an Injun
Than to be the general’s boy
It’s one thing to be a target
Quite another to be a toy
I’d rather be the doctor
Than to be the dead man’s nurse
I ain’t got his patience
But I know right where it hurts

[Chorus]
But when I pulled my pants down
You could barely hear ’em say
Don’t go lookin’ for trouble
It will find you anyway

[Verse 3]
Hamlet came to see me
And he offered me the cup
I said, you must be kidding
Things are startin’ to look up
He just sat there grinnin’
Poured it back into his flask
Said, anytime you need it
All you got to do is ask

[Chorus]
But when I popped the question
You could barely him say
Don’t go lookin’ for trouble
It will find you anyway

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
But when I popped the question
You could barely 'em say
Don’t go lookin’ for trouble
It will find you anyway

[Verse 4]
Now you can be an outlaw
You can be a hero, too
You can be anyone you wanna be
If it means that much to you
But if you’re on the corner
Hustlin’ for a crumb
They know your need
They’ll make you bleed
Before they sell you some

[Chorus]
And when you pop the question
You will barely hear them say
Don’t go lookin’ for trouble
It will find you anyway

[Outro]
Don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway
I say, don't go lookin' for trouble
It will find you anyway
