Oh tough guy, living your rhymes
Or is it just in your mind?
My mistake
Were you actually just living a lie?
Nevertheless
So continuous
I know you're playing the part but it's so ridiculous
Now I know it's just that you want to feel high
And don't get me wrong cause I think it's alright
One thing discovered
One thing I have found
Is that everybody, everybody
Everybody wants to be a gangster
When they turn off the light
A vision of a million dollar banner
Wanted
dead
or
alive
Everybody wants to be a gangster
In the dead of the night
I never thought I'd ever see a
World war made up
Whole thing built on lies
Oh you don't walk, you dance
I love the way you glance at everybody
To intimidate them with a staunch stance
Nevertheless
So continuous
I know you're playing the part but it's so ridiculous
Now I know it's just that you want to feel high
And don't get me wrong cause I think it's alright
One thing discovered
One thing I have found
Is that everybody, everybody
Everybody wants to be a gangster
When they turn off the light
A vision of a million dollar banner
Wanted
dead
or
alive
Everybody wants to be a gangster
In the dead of the night
I never thought I'd ever see a
World war made up
Whole thing built on lies
Well at first he's got the thrill
The machine's all set to kill
And he hopes you'll come around
But I guess I never will
Cause everybody wants to be a gangster
Everybody wants to have their minute while its hot
But I don't like killing just so we can dig their land up
I don't really get it
And I guess I never will
So now that everybody wants to be a gangster
In the dead of the night
I never thought I'd ever see a
World war made up
Whole world built on lies
