CORRECTAR LA LETRA
Letra : Crime in the City (Weld Version)
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 killers -
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 -
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
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 -
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
