neil young - crime in the city (weld version) lyrics

Loading...

well, the cop made the showdown +
he was sure he was right +
he had all of the lowdown +
from the bank heist last night +

his best friend was the robber +
and his wife was a thief +
all the children were k!llers +
they couldn’t get no relief +
the bungalow was surrounded +
when a voice loud and clear +
said, “come on out with your hands up” +
or we’ll blow you out of here +

there was a face in the window +
the tv cameras rolled +
then they cut to the announcer +
and the story was told +

[bridge]

there’s still crime in the city +
said the cop on the beat +
i don’t know if i can stop it +
i feel like meat on the street +
they paint my car like a target +
i take my orders from fools +
meanwhile some punk blows my head off +
well, i play by their rules +
that’s why i’m doing it my way +
i took the law in my own hands +
here i am in the alleyway +

a wad of cash in my pants i get paid by a ten year old
he says he looks up to me +
there’s still crime in the city +
but it’s good to be free +
freeeeeedooooooom

[bridge]

[verse 4]
well i come from a family +
it has a broken home +
sometimes i talk to daddy +
on the telephone +

when he says that he loves me +
i know that he does +
but i wish it i could see him +
i wish i knew where he was +
that’s the way all my friends are
except maybe one or two +
wish i could see him this weekend +
wish i could walk in his shoes +

but now i’m doing my own thing +
sometimes i’m good, then i’m baaad +
although my home has been broken +
it’s the best home i ever had +

[bridge]

[verse 5]
well, i keep getting younger +
my life’s been funny that way +
before i ever learned to talk +
i forgot what to say +

i sassed back to my moma +
i sassed back to my teacher +
i got thrown out of bible school +
for giving a finger to the preacher +

and i grew up to be a fireman +
put out every fire in town +
put out anything smoking +
but when i put the hose down +
the judge sent me to prison +
he gave me life without parole +
wish i never put the hose down +
wish i never got old +
wish i never got old +
ooooooold
