Alkatraz

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls

Welcome to the show

Are ya ready?

3, 2, 1 (ok)

Knock-knock, howdy fellas! Here comes the trouble

We're by night the devil's half-time ragtime rustlers

Untouchable charisma and spifflicated muscle

Split the difference, ya get the real honky-tonk hustle

Hell's unbroken stallions, valiant swing rapscallions

Bringing back the oki-doki, fuck off mentality

An advantageous place of our own, where having fun wins, so

Uncourageous fakers best be knowing their onions, okay?

So much for tryna’ keep the record clean and stainless

Son'na koto nai to omotta

(Huh? I didn’t think it was like that)

But there’s a line between defying the law and acting brainless

Nante tta? Shinuhodo warota

(Sorry, what? I laughed myself to death!)

(Geez)

We got the real sockdolager sounds

And everybody wants a piece, but all I want is to peace out!!

An off-the-beat town of scoffing clowns who act tough

Show 'em what hell is

Only jealous 'cuz they can't catch up

So come one (let's keep it movin')

I'll break these iron chains they've got me locked in

Raise hell myself 'cause all you're doin's talkin'!

So don't tell me how to break the law

I don't buy what you're selling

You say you're gonna set me free

Well, you take too long

Hey what's the hold up

I'm sick of being holed up, and told what

To say and what to stand for by the man that's in control but

Off-handed and unplanned escape's a ticket to goodnight

But the animal's need to be freed's a stick of dynamite

So welcome one and welcome and all, to satan's hell in jail-cell walls

Regard the riotous lunacy till opportunity calls

A demon's game of chance, or poker for souls

But here the warden plays a hand wherein the joker is the one in control

I guess you could say the devil's off my shoulder

Ha ha, hilarious

Despair upon the worthless

Behind the slick, sophisticated composure

He who runs a circus tends to be nefariously merciless

But if I had your soul, we could make a break for it

Give and takin', given what's a stake, don't gotta hate me for it!

Hide our claws, obey their ridiculous laws and mimic their dance

Be reverential soldiers 'till we get that chance!

So come on (let's keep it movin')

I'll break these iron chains they've got me locked in

Raise hell myself 'cuz all you're doin's talkin'

So don't tell me how to break the law

I don't buy what you're selling

You say you're gonna set me free

Well, you take too long

1, 2, 3, 4

Countin' down the second 'till we aim for the door

We gotta sneak out the back, stop overthinking

And peak through the cracks, take out the kingping

This moment determines if we're swimmin' or sinkin'

An unforeseen deterrent could arise, so no blinkin'

A wink of the eye, a minor slight of the hand

I'm gonna make it out alive with or without cha', man

So are you in or you out? Don't complicate this

You hurry up, you'll enter right in time for the great twist

Of fate, it's the grande finale, so take a bow

Curtains down, ding-dong

Sorry, you take too long

Man, you take too long

I can't wait, so come on

(Let's keep it movin')

I'll break these iron chains they've got me locked in

Raise hell myself 'cause all you're doin's talkin'

So don't tell me how to break the law

I don't buy what you're selling

You say you're gonna set me free

Well, you take too long

(You say you're gonna set me free)

(Yeah, you say you're gonna set me free)

Well you take too long
