[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!)
