G C F C Yeah yeah, yeah yeah G C F C Yeah yeah, yeah yeah G F C I've landed myself in a jam G F C I knew it the moment the prison door slammed G F C D I shot a man dead just to show how tough I am C D It wasn't planned The way it went down it was late I got a bit fresh with some other man's date He met me outside and that's where he met his fate A big mistake G F C G My lawyer said I had no "just cause" F C G And the best I could do was to clutch at straws C F Now you son-of-a-gun, look at what you've done G C F C Yeah yeah, yeah yeah G C F C Yeah yeah, yeah yeah My record was no help at all I've got a string of convictions since juvenile hall I stood up in court and they nailed me to the wall (And that was all...)
