Balaclava on my boyfriend's head, like he said
We've got to get away from living
Like the way we've been bred
Won't know what's hit them
Like a bat on the back of the head
We can do, we can do
We can do what we want
We're like bonnie and clyde, but without any pride
We're gonna make out in the shoot-out
On the day that we die
We put our names up in lights, we put our lives on the line
We can do, we can do
We can do what we want
Got a limit I can live it if you give me a minute
If you give me some money I can tell you who did it
Got an ex in the clink who was getting acquitted
We can do, we can do
We can do what we want
When the officer knocked on my door he was pretty
Did whatever I wanted, whenever I needed
The sypd broke down every single door in the city
We can do, we can do
We can do what we want
And no-one tells us we are wrong
No-one tells us when to stop
No-one takes account and no one steps in
Or has the guts to call us up
And with nowhere left to go
And with nothing left to do
I had something to say and then I screwed it up
And all my lungs can offer up is
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
We can do what we want
