Lyrics
Racketeer
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.
I’m a part of the generation of beggars with sons
All my friends, they are users and that makes me one
I snort up their words and rub them on my gums
But now I'm away to a brighter day
Don't talk anymore with a mouthful of tongue
I'm a racketeer, racketeer
Oh yes it's me, I'm the one
I've gone into a format to hide behind
And not give a fuck 'till I don't anymore
I got this face and then I got twenty more
There's a racketeer, racketeer
Behind every door
If its you and me that you're looking for
I can't tell you, it's confidential
I'm not allowed to use my potential
As a racketeer, racketeer, racketeer
Because of you
As a racketeer, racketeer, racketeer
Because of you
I don't need a compass to navigate in this game
Got these initials and directions in my name
We're all going down, but baby I'm going home
I got can’t-miss-out personality syndrome
I buried my twenties and soak in indulgence
But now I'm here
Now I'm here, to right this moment
As a racketeer, racketeer, racketeer
Yes it's me
I can't tell you, it's confidential
I'm not allowed to use my potential
As a racketeer, racketeer, racketeer
Because of you
You
You
You
As a racketeer, racketeer, racketeer
Because of you
I can't tell you, it's confidential
I'm not allowed to use my potential
As a racketeer, racketeer, racketeer
Because of you
I can't tell you, it's confidential
I'm not allowed to use my potential
As a racketeer, racketeer, racketeer
Because of you
I can't tell you, it's confidential
(I can't tell you, it's confidential)
No, I can't tell you, it's confidential
(I can't tell you, it's confidential)
Oh I'm a racketeer
(I'm a racketeer)
Oh I'm a racketeer
(I'm a racketeer)
Oh I'm a racketeer
(I'm a racketeer)
