Well I rolled that store about an hour ago for a hundred and a fifth of gin Now I must confess to the depths of the mess that I'm in Because the cops were waiting when I ran outside saying Cool
it
now,
drop
the
gun,
son. Call it the curse of the knee-jerk reaction
You see all of my life I've had to hustle and fight I was poor and small for my age But my big bro Tom said it's easy to compensate You
gotta
get
there
fast
before
they
even
react
now
thats just the way its
done,
Son.
Call it the curse of the knee-jerk reaction
Wouldn't it be good to be the king of the neighborhood
To be the czar and the Gunga Din
Hey that's how the story should end
Wouldn't it be fine to be the one at the front of the line
To be the star and the champion
Yeah I'd like to do it over and over and over and over again
It was a case of the bills unpaid that led me to a life of crime I got so damn sick of always working for nickels and dimes So I bought this piece off my cousin Maurice He said
get
in
there,
get
out
and
run,
Son.
Call it the curse of the knee-jerk reaction
Wouldn't it be good....
Well I rolled that store about an hour ago Now I'm rotting in the holding pen
And I must confess to the depths of the mess that I'm in When a queen named Lou asks what did I do
I said, I
looked
out
for
number
one,
Son.
Call it the curse of the knee-jerk reaction
