Your daddy used to drive 95 on 95 |
[00:17.86][00:19.42] |
Said he did it all the time and he made it back alive |
[00:20.82][00:21.78] |
Used to warn you 'bout the Lower East Side at night |
[00:24.78] |
And the bars down by the harbor where the drunken sailors fight |
[00:28.10] |
I remember sleepin' on the roof from June until the fall |
[00:31.61] |
Sister'd swat you with a stick, father'd slam you 'gainst the wall |
[00:35.49] |
All the cops were takin' bribes, all the bodies disappeared |
[00:38.69] |
Gun was always at the side when you went for a beer 'round here |
[00:43.75] |
So walk a mile in my boots down to the old school |
[00:50.89] |
Maybe crybaby'll learn a thing or two |
[00:57.55] |
Yeah! |
[01:07.85] |
Wise guys and weasels used to run this whole damn town |
[01:10.81] |
I got beat so many times 'til I learned to knock 'em down |
[01:13.72] |
Now I'm made of steel and leather stitched with wires and screws |
[01:17.33] |
Built a house at nineteen 'cause at eighteen got the boot |
[01:21.35] |
So walk a while in my shoes before you sing those blues |
[01:28.28] |
Things ain't what they used to be, don't make 'em like they used to |
[01:32.60] |
Burnin' through our cigarettes, riskin' injury or death |
[01:43.67] |
It's like we used to say: if you could see this place and I could see your face |
[01:48.70] |
Smash up your fantasy - justice served, no one bleeds |
[01:51.65] |
I'm rollin' up my sleeves to tell you 'bout a lawless world (world! world! world!) |
[02:08.21] |
And no one came along to pick me up off the curb |
[02:14.88] |
And I went the whole way home to hear I got what I deserved |
[02:21.56] |
See I knew what I had to do, see some things I'll never tell |
[02:28.51] |
I'll take it with me to my grave, then I'll burn my life in hell |
[02:32.54] |
And if you went to walk that mile, well, you'd be in for a surprise |
[02:39.61] |
Just a highway and a bind for hitchin' a ride |
[02:44.51] |
Burnin' through our cigarettes, riskin' injury or death |
[02:55.16] |
It's like they always say: if you could see this place and I could see your face |
[02:59.49] |
Tear up your fantasy - peace kept, nobody beat |
[03:02.95] |
I'm rollin' up my sleeves - hey, where the hell you been? |
[03:06.21] |
Pick your poison, name your game, play to kill, shoot to win |
[03:09.73] |
The (?), we're all just history |
[03:13.26] |
I cashed in, sold out, had nothin' left to cry about |
[03:16.21] |
I'd love to still believe there's order in a lawless world (world! world! world!) |
