lyrics
Walter put down that Bunsen burner
There’s got to be another way to be a wage earner
You know every chemical’s building blocks
Did you have to also be the one who knocks?
If you had only had a better medical plan
You woudn’t have had to cook meth in that RV van
Obamacare would have paid your medical claims
Would not have had to stand there and say ‘say my name’
Walter don’t go to los pollos hermanos
Junior’s freaking out and Skylar’s getting morose
Jesse’s gonna find out what you did
You thought he thought that someone else poisoned that kid
you know the right chemicals to cover your tracks
the bodies and the money piling up in stacks
You’re playing with fire, your hand’s in the flame
You know you want that closeup to say ‘say my name’
Walter don’t steal methylamine from the train
By the end of the series you’re gonna be so insane
Walter don’t leave out that Walt Whitman book
Cause Hank is gonna find it and know that you’re the cook
Tho you sort of made it work out in the finale
There was still enough dead bodies to fill death valley
You started out so innocent, look what you became
And now everyone is gonna ‘say your name’
“heisenberg”
Walter put down that Bunsen burner, got to be another way to be a wage earner
You know every chemical building blocks/Did ya have to be the one who knocks?
