Lyric discussion by Wildcardi 

Would it surprise any of y'all to know that at least some of these lyrics are autobiographical?

Check out "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon" by Crystal Zevon. Considering his life, he was never on any sanctimonious kick judging permissiveness in anything.

@Wildcardi Exactly! If I'm not mistaken, in the liner notes of one of the various re-releases, Zevon himself is quoted as saying the song was a dark satire of himself at the time. The pot roast and leg biting incidents actually happened and are kind've well known Zevon lore.
