Getting / Giving The Lock

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.

they were partners in crime

when the wife admits

that her son had been taking what the neighbors have missed

there's a law in the city

and it's clear as a nail

you don't blame who you have

you just take who you steal

but nobody told him that "it's up to you deciding

you're getting the lock

or giving it"

his family moans in disapproval

it's damaging but not threatening

the partners in crime

were ahead at the finish

the p.i. started detecting where the family had lived

and his jaw started to squeak

and the kid started to spill

he attached to the manila

that he had hired them all

the lieutenant underestimated his need for notoriety

he spilled when they told him

it was "up to you deciding, you're getting the lock or giving it"

his family moaned
