| [00:27.91] |
Well, the cop made the showdown |
| [00:31.40] |
He was sure he was right |
| [00:34.77] |
He had all of the lowdown |
| [00:38.60] |
From the bank heist last night |
| [00:43.69] |
His best friend was the robber |
| [00:47.31] |
And his wife was a thief |
| [00:50.80] |
All the children were killers |
| [00:54.23] |
They couldn't get no relief |
| [00:57.76] |
The bungalow was surrounded |
| [01:01.39] |
When a voice loud and clear |
| [01:04.76] |
Said, come on out with your hands up |
| [01:08.29] |
Or we'll blow you out of here. |
| [01:09.98] |
There was a face in the window |
| [01:13.96] |
The tv cameras rolled |
| [01:17.49] |
Then they cut to the announcer |
| [01:21.01] |
And the story was told. |
| [01:52.13] |
There's still crime in the city, |
| [01:55.56] |
Said the cop on the beat, |
| [01:59.00] |
I don't know if I can stop it |
| [02:02.47] |
I feel like meat on the street |
| [02:07.57] |
They paint my car like a target |
| [02:11.04] |
I take my orders from fools |
| [02:14.58] |
Meanwhile some kid blows my head off |
| [02:18.06] |
Well, I play by their rules |
| [02:21.59] |
That's why I'm doin' it my way |
| [02:24.95] |
I took the law in my hands |
| [02:28.70] |
So here I am in the alleyway |
| [02:31.86] |
A wad of cash in my pants |
| [02:33.78] |
I get paid by a ten year old |
| [02:37.46] |
He says he looks up to me |
| [02:40.75] |
There's still crime in the city |
| [02:44.42] |
But it's good to be free. |
| [02:49.16] |
Freedom |
| [03:22.10] |
Now I come from a family |
| [03:25.49] |
That has a broken home |
| [03:28.91] |
Sometimes I talk to my daddy |
| [03:32.59] |
On the telephone |
| [03:37.74] |
When he says that he loves me |
| [03:41.39] |
I know that he does |
| [03:44.62] |
But I wish I could see him |
| [03:47.84] |
I wish I knew where he was |
| [03:51.48] |
But that's the way all my friends are |
| [03:54.86] |
Except maybe one or two |
| [03:58.24] |
Wish I could see him this weekend |
| [04:01.68] |
Wish I could walk in his shoes |
| [04:03.45] |
But now I'm doin' my own thing |
| [04:06.83] |
Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad |
| [04:10.26] |
Although my home has been broken |
| [04:13.79] |
It's the best home I ever had |
| [04:49.66] |
Well, I keep gettin' younger |
| [04:53.14] |
My life's been funny that way |
| [04:56.52] |
Before I ever learned to talk |
| [05:00.11] |
I forgot what to say |
| [05:05.15] |
I sassed back to my mom |
| [05:08.63] |
I sassed back to my teacher |
| [05:12.17] |
I got thrown out of Bible school |
| [05:15.50] |
For sassin' back at the preacher |
| [05:18.97] |
Then I grew up to be a fireman |
| [05:22.35] |
Put out every fire in town |
| [05:25.73] |
Put out anything smokin' |
| [05:29.20] |
But when I put the hose down |
| [05:30.93] |
The judge sent me to prison |
| [05:34.55] |
He gave me life without parole |
| [05:37.97] |
Wish I never put the hose down |
| [05:48.27][05:41.46] |
Wish I never got old. |
