Lyrics
Ever since her name was drawn it's like a curse around this town
The tightest skirt you ever saw and people mostly prayed she'd
pull it down
Born with no advantage no ambition truth to tell
She just walked around the streets all day looking like
The gates of hell
With all the trouble that she caused you'd think she'd move but
she would not
So she hung around the bars at night just making do with what
she got
Filled them all with stories of her family growing up
Well the stuff could turn your stomach like an early morning
Whiskey shot
Who knew Wanda Waynes would pull it all that night
They'd draw her name and she could change into anyone she liked
But she just stood in the streets all day burning piles of hundred dollar bill
Pretty soon that town was whispering she don't know greed and envy kills
Now the cops and newscrews fill this town with more uniforms and more tight skirts
You could spot the tabliod crews a mile away they wore matching
Disney shirts
They'll never find them now seeems to me these days they rarely do
I bet by now they're long gone and its a shame Wanda Waynes is
through
Who knew Wanda Waynes would pull it all that night
They'd draw her name and she could change into anyone she liked
But she just stood in the streets all day burning piles of Hundred Dollar bills
Pretty soon that town was whispering she don't know greed and envy kills
Well pretty soon they all were whispering
Oh but she wasn't listening
She don't know from nothing she won't ever see it coming
Don't you know that greed and envy kills
