Lyrics
Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement thinking about the goverment
Man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough, he wants to get it paid off

God knows when but you're doing it again
You better duck down the alleyway looking for a new friend
The man in the coonskin cap by the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten, so look out kid

Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out, kid, because they keep it all hid, look out

Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
Talking at the heat put plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May orders from the DA

Walk on your tip toes, don't try "no doz"
Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes
'Cause you don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows, look out kid

Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did
Look out, kid, because they keep all hid, look out

Looks to me like you did a little to much hitting kid
You should've took it to the bridge before you started to skid, look out, kid
The good god willing, we'll bebop to Bob Dylan
Chillin' 'em, thrillin' 'em, and red hot killin' 'em

Killin' 'em
Said killin' 'em
C'mon

Get sick, get well, hand around a ink well
Ring a bell, hard to tell if anything is gonna sell
Try hard, get barred, get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail

But users, cheaters, and the six time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool looking for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters, look out kid

Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out, kid, because they keep all hid
Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out, kid, because they keep all hid, look out
