Let me tell you a little story about a flight attendant
who now stands in court as a lone defendant
after 20 long years in a job that tough
he decided one day that he'd had enough
steve had to leave
steve had to leave
the plane touched down in philadelphia
one of the ladies didnt do what steve had told her to
she went to get her bags while the plane was still moving
steve marched down the aisle all disapproving
steve was polite
but he knew he was right
steve always did the best he could
he knew that when he finally left he had to make it good
steve had an awesome exit plan
... steve was a fucking man
steve was a bro
steve had to go
the old woman didnt do what steve had said
she pulled down her baggage and it hit min in the head
so he went up to the front and he got into the mic
and spoke to all the passangers and called out her bullshite (lyrics not that
clear for last few words)
steve spoke the truth
with a curse word or two
steve pulled down the level and down fell the chute
then he went to the drinks stall and grabbed a beer or two
just before he jumped out of the plane he turned and yelled
"I'm out of here fuckers and I'll see y'all in hell!"
steve was a bro
steve had to go
steve always did the best he could
he knew that when he finally left he had to make it good
steve had an awesome exit plan
... steve was a fucking man
... steve was a fucking man (end on Gadd4 )
