[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.
