roger clyne & the peacemakers - contraband (live in new jersey) lyrics
[spoken]
hola peacemakers, hola new jersey
thanks for coming out for our first recording on this coast
and thanks for being a part of it, everybody
see that microphone right there, and that microphone right there
are going to pick you guys up
so let’s knock ’em into the red all night long
just in case i have one or two or three too many tequilas
and start slurring my words
you guys got me covered, i know it
so gracias
alright let’s start this thing off
i, 2, 3
[verse 1]
anything you want, that you don’t need
la cocaina, las armas, or the weed
como villa, como zapata, como guevara, como yo
i am el capitan of my own ship!
soy un pangero!
i provide a little seen, little known, ma & pa, homegrown service to society
i got your spice at a very fine price, now…
choose your variety
[verse 2]
no radar, no runnin’ lights, no radio
the torches blinking on the sh0r-
tell when to come and where to go
and i don’t believe in the satellite, computer, or gps
my faith is the horizon
my comp-ss, my best guess
i provide a little seen, little known, ma & pa, homegrown service to society
i got your spice at a very fine price, now…
choose your variety
you name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband
i will be there dark of night or light of day
i guarantee delivery by air, by sea, or land
that’s how i make a lot of easy money, baby…
the hard way…
despite the bribes i pay, my trade receives official censure
“but it’s not just a job,” as the gringos say, no, “it’s an adventure!”
[chorus]
i provide a little seen, little known, ma & pa, homegrown service to society
i got your spice at a very fine price, now…
choose your variety
you name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband
i will be there dark of night or light of day
i guarantee delivery by air, by sea, or land
that’s how i make a lot of easy money, baby…
the hard way…
[bridge]
for every night i have run
i prefer the moon to the sun
for every fight i have won
i prefer the knife to the gun
and any bridge i never burned, i never crossed
and every fight i never picked, i never lost
we got a wild blue yonder, wild frontier
ain’t we got the makings of a fine, fine career!
sh0r- to sh0r- the sea i run’s 200 kilometers wide
keep your eyes peeled, head down, hand steady;
throttle ready to run
there ain’t nowhere to hide
the machete, the silence and the darkness are my friends
yeah i know i gotta a date with fate, i know not where or when
[chorus]
but i provide a little seen, little known, ma & pa, homegrown service to society
i got your spice at a very fine price, now…
choose your variety
you name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband
and i’ll be there dark of night or light of day
i guarantee delivery by air, by sea, or land
that’s how i make a lot of easy money, baby…
i make a lotta easy money baby
c’mon let’s make a lotta easy money baby
the hard way…
you name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband
that’s how i make a lot of easy money, baby…
the hard way…
you name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband
that’s how we make a lot of easy money, baby…
the hard way…
