private investigations

• a$mi$ dire straits $arkisi..
  
  it's a mystery to me - the game commences
  for the usual fee - plus expenses
  confidential information - it's in a diary
  this is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry
  
  i go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
  you get to meet all sorts in this line of work
  treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
  and when i find the reason i still can get used to it
  
  and what have you got at the end of the day?
  what have you got to take away?
  a bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
  blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes
  
  scarred for life - no compensation
