1
Your daddy used to drive 95 on 95
2
Said he did it all the time and he made it back alive
3
Used to warn you 'bout the Lower East Side at night
4
And the bars down by the harbor where the drunken sailors fight
5
I remember sleepin' on the roof from June until the fall
6
Sister'd swat you with a stick, father'd slam you 'gainst the wall
7
All the cops were takin' bribes, all the bodies disappeared
8
Gun was always at the side when you went for a beer 'round here
9
So walk a mile in my boots down to the old school
10
Maybe crybaby'll learn a thing or two
11
Yeah!
12
Wise guys and weasels used to run this whole damn town
13
I got beat so many times 'til I learned to knock 'em down
14
Now I'm made of steel and leather stitched with wires and screws
15
Built a house at nineteen 'cause at eighteen got the boot
16
So walk a while in my shoes before you sing those blues
17
Things ain't what they used to be, don't make 'em like they used to
18
Burnin' through our cigarettes, riskin' injury or death
19
It's like we used to say: if you could see this place and I could see your face
20
Smash up your fantasy "” justice served, no one bleeds
21
I'm rollin' up my sleeves to tell you 'bout a lawless world (world! world! world!)
22
And no one came along to pick me up off the curb
23
And I went the whole way home to hear I got what I deserved
24
See I knew what I had to do, see some things I'll never tell
25
I'll take it with me to my grave, then I'll burn my life in hell
26
And if you went to walk that mile, well, you'd be in for a surprise
27
Just a highway and a bind for hitchin' a ride
28
Burnin' through our cigarettes, riskin' injury or death
29
It's like they always say: if you could see this place and I could see your face
30
Tear up your fantasy "” peace kept, nobody beat
31
I'm rollin' up my sleeves "” hey, where the hell you been?
32
Pick your poison, name your game, play to kill, shoot to win
33
The ???, we're all just history
34
I cashed in, sold out, had nothin' left to cry about
35
I'd love to still believe there's order in a lawless world (world! world! world!)
Boycott Me!
