[00:15.10][00:14.67]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!)
