the paranoid style & patterson hood - i'd bet my land and titles lyrics

[verse 1]
one last illegal smile
i’d bet my land and titles
oh, i know you wanna k!ll your idols but your idols are dead
this ain’t no church revival
this ain’t no public recital
no one wants a second viewing once you chart a course to ruin
no one ever calls from vegas just to wonder how you’re doing
i can’t see for miles
but i’d bet my land and titles
[verse 2]
someone went nearly berserk
somebody’s looking for work
when a reputation needs rebuilding, it’s not the shirt and shoes you’re k!lled in
it’s how they put you in the dirt
once your assets have grown
you’ve learned to change your tone
once you recognize the difference between “there’s n0body’s there” and “there’s n0body home”
now jack, she is a banker, and jane, he is a clerk
and from the moment you dropped anchor, you’ve been acting like a jerk
just one question i have for you, before you turn in all your tiles
how’d you end up on the jury when i sang “all my trials?”
you know it’s all on file
i’d bet my land and titles

[bridge]
five lanes, three days, burning down the highways
moving with a purpose at excessive speed
when everything went unchecked, when everything went sideways
jackie always takes a little more than she needs

[verse 3]
night at the switching yard
the men are tough and hard
if you take the literature at its word, some things are so improbable, they’re practically assured
one last illegal smile
john prine’s in exile
no one wants the proof of concept, once the verdict is contempt
no one knows the difference between an execution and a compliment, and i can’t
see for miles
but i’d bet my land and titles (woo)
