It's hard to wave in handcuffs
(or, what did I do? )
(paul westerberg)
Sweat poured down his brow
When the temperature is below zero
First guy tries to rob
Turns out to be a hero
He ran, he rid
When the guys said
Just forget it kid
If it's a hood they want,
It's a hood they'll get
This time he is ready
And set
Guzzled half a coke/colt
That was sitting on a dryer
In an old laundromat
What do you think about it
When he was through he put the bottle in a jacket
With six more from the rack
Stumbled into an alley
For some fun and money
And some crackerjack
(burp)
Wipe that goddamn smile off face
I'll pull a hole your wife cant mend
Stuck my gun into his ribs
I'm glad I left the bullets where I did
Just don't say nothing
Don't say nothing
Aaaaaaaargh !!
Walked down the street
Snow is falling down
Twenty bucks he took,
Left one buck
'tip a bum,
It's good luck.'
Bruce springsteen
Getting his hair curled.
Otis redding
Hanging out the clothes
Wipe that goddamn smile old friend
I'll blow a hole your wife can't mend
I'll shoot your head and rip that chest
U can move in it, just be my guest
Wipe that motherfucker off that
I own that cadillac
God what did I do
A girl I haven't seen in years
Waved to me
I held my tears
She thought my shirt it must have been stuffed
It's hard to wave in handcuffs
