SCREW IT! (Song 4, Act 1; Act Finale) by DUDE

[Intro]
You walked through that back door.
Water on the Rocks, not this time...
Your goose is cooked, Victor....

Screw it. (!) I'll do it. (!)
Maybe I'll live through it...

[Verse 1]

"Victor, honey," I said, leaning on the bar
"Three hundred K is sweet, but I must have misunderstood?
I thought you wanted me gone for good?"
I shot him that look, the one I save for those every now and thenners
The kind that makes all those tough guys get the jitters.
"If you want me on a beach, drinking grey goose from a glass...
It's gonna cost three times that for me to move my ass."
[Pre-Chorus]

I watched his eyes. He didn't flinch. He didn't blink.
Just a little smirk with a raised eyebrow before he took a drink.
Was he just playing along or was he taken?
Was he just throwing cash to get rid of me or was he really shaken?
He pulled out his phone, didn't hesitate.
"Done," he said. "Now get out of state."

[Chorus]
He thinks I can be bought and that is all it will be!
He thinks I can be taught but that just ain't me!
Been paid to disappear, Been paid to look away!
But it's a million dollar ticket for a permanent holiday!

You can't just buy out a girl who built her life in the dirt.

[Verse 2]
I can see the wheels churning, thinking he played me right.
He needs no pryin' eyes, spyin' him that night.
So... I am playin' greedy bartender, lettin' him see just how weak.
I'll claim hard times at the bar, post it closed, kiss him on the cheek.

I'll drive away, gone like a ghost...
Grab a cheap motel ten miles down the coast.

[Bridge]
Let him set up whatever is the setup. Let the big boy make his play.
Bet your ass I'll be watchin', I'm here to stay!
Keep me out of your business, talk behind closed doors.
You paid for my silence, Victor.
[DRM sudden heavy tom strike]
Now I am stealing yours.

[Chorus 2]
He thinks I can be bought and that is all it will be!
He thinks I can be taught but that just ain't me!
Been paid to disappear, Been paid to look away!
But it's a million dollar ticket for a permanent holiday!

See you in two weeks.

Screw it. (!) I'll do it. (!)
Maybe I'll live through it...

Thanks for the tip, honey.
