Mexico Lyrics - Beck

Come gather round me people, here's a story you never heard 

'Bout me and my friends and some shit that occured 

We thought we'd get some money 

We thought that we'd might go 

Spend a weekend pleasant down in Mexico 

I was workin' at McDonald's, doin the late night run 

When a car pulled up the drive-thru and pointed out a gun 

Said, "Give us all your money and three Big Macs to go" 

I stuffed them all in a bag and I ducked down below 

Well the boss got angry when he found out I didn't call the police 

I guess I was kinda nervous, they had a warant out on me 

Concerning some jaywalking tickets I couldn't afford to pay 

Needless to say I got the axe that same day

Well me bein out of work just then 

I didn't want to go home 

My mom said if I lost this job I'd have to go out on my own 

So I went over to Dave's house and got really stoned 

Called up some girls but nont of them were home 

Steve came over and he brought some alcohol 

We're gettin really depressed just starin' at the wall 

Thought if we'd get some money, we thought that we might go 

Spend a weekend pleasant down in Mexico 

Steve's dad had a huntin rifle and we went and picked it up 

We stopped into the 7-11 to try our luck 

We raised up that huntin rifle but the counter guy just laughed 

As he pulled out a uzi we turned and hauled ass 

We were runnin so fast til we came to the McDonald's where I used to work 

We walked up to the drive-thru and gave my boss a jerk 

Said, "Give us all your money and three Big Macs to go 

And suck on this you weasel, we're goin to Mexico"

Down south we all got really wasted, Dave got a case of the runs 

We're all really hungover and gettin' low on funds 

Dave and Steve called their parents and took the bus back home 

Me, I got a job at McDonald's down in Mexico.
