Can't Get Arreste
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You´ve got to laugh though it´s not funny
You´ve got to laugh, or you would surely cry
Can´t buy a chance for love or money
Can´t get arrested however hard you try
Your heart is numb, you´ve screamed and shouted
Banged on the door relentlessly
They should have come, no doubt about it
To lock you up and throw away the key
You´ve got to laugh though it´s not funny
You´ve got to laugh, or you would surely cry
Can´t buy a chance for love or money
Can´t get arrested however hard you try
It´s so unfair how unfair this is
You´ve done some things beyond the pale
You´ve broken hearts and stolen kisses
Still not enough to get you into jail
Well, it must feel like you´re invisible
Say, do they know that you´re alive
So what you gonna try now?
Hey what you gonna try?
And now it´s time to rest your poor head
You tried it all, you tried it all
You might as well have stayed in your bed
You might as well be a flower on the wall
You´ve got to laugh though it´s not funny
You´ve got to laugh, or you would surely cry
Can´t buy a chance for love or money
Can´t get arrested however hard you try
