Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicineI'm on the pavement thinking about the govermentThe man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,Says he's got a bad cough: wants to get it paid offPaid offGod knows when but you're doin' it again!You better duck down the alleyway lookin' for a new friendThe man in the coonskin cap in the big penWants eleven dollar bills: you only got tenSo look out kidLook out, kidLook out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kidLook out, kid, because they keep all hidMaggie comes fleet foot, face full of black sootTalkin' at the heat put plants in the bed butThe phone's tapped anyway, maggie says that many sayThey must bust in early MayOrders from the D.A.Walkin' on your tip toes, don't try no dozeBetter stay away from those that carry around a fire hoseKeep a clean nose, watch the plain clothesCause we don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blowsLook out, kidLook out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kidLook out, kid, because they keep all hidLooks to me like you didA little to much hittin' kidYou should've took it to the bridgeBefore you started to skid, kidLook out, kidThe good god willin', we'll bebop to Bob DylanChillin' em, thrillin' em, and red hot killin' emKillin' emI said killin' emGet sick, get well, hand around an ink wellRing bell, hard to tell if anything is goin' to sellTry hard, get barred, get back, write brailleGet jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you failBut users, cheaters, six time losersHand around the theatresGirl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new foolDon't follow leaders, watch the parkin' metersLook out, kidLook out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kidLook out, kid, because they keep all hidLook out, kidLook out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kidLook out, kid, because they keep all hid
