|
here we go |
|
leave it on the back burner |
|
take it to the dry town |
|
I got the mean time slippin' down |
|
the slide some uptight right wing, |
|
political homicide, do what you want, |
|
take what you will, take it in like a |
|
southpaw, flip it on the grill |
|
bourgeoise, protocol |
|
bottoms up boys this is the last call |
|
happy hour doesn't last too long |
|
you know it never does |
|
so I sit here on a bar stool looking at |
|
the sky got a buck and a quarter |
|
and a bucket full or rye |
|
don't step out of line you'll get time |
|
in the brig don't yield to the mighty |
|
you got your own dirt to dig |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
my and my flea bag friends we ran |
|
to have our own feast of Crispan |
|
Murphy was there with number 22 |
|
they were got caught in the middle |
|
of a coup, you will |
|
lose me if I don't lose you |
|
we haven't chosen |
|
anyone of you to condemn |
|
so make your decision and chose you |
|
side or let us begin |
|
steeped in knowledge |
|
I'll step from the board |
|
down to the speak easy |
|
with my double-edged sword |
|
you know the deal |
|
you got to spin the wheel |
|
I heard the heavens are full of sevens |
|
but as matter of fact |
|
you know that cat suicide jack |
|
he don't play like that |
|
truth is he don't really play at all |
