Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of the deadpan Warren Zevon performing "Lawyers, Guns And Money" which is in the spirit of Hunter S. Thompson's antics.
Warren's songs contain biting sarcasm
This was part of the full concert at Capitol Theatre (Passaic, NJ) on 4/18/1980
I have several of Warren Zevon's albums
Rest in peace Warren William Zevon!

Here is the full concert. "Lawyers, Guns And Money" closed out that show.

"Lawyers, Guns And Money" written by Warren William Zevon
Lyrics
"Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan"
