Warren Zevon - The Long Arm of the Law lyrics
[Warren Zevon - The Long Arm of the Law lyrics]
When I was young, times were hard
When I got older, it was worse
First words I ever heard
"Nobody move, nobody get hurt"
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
After the war in Paraguay back in 1999
I was laying low in Lima
Working both sides of the borderline
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
You can run, but you can't hide
(You can't hide)
Well, I have to live like a fugitive
(It's the long arm, it's the strong arm)
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
(It's the long arm of the law)
(It's the long arm, it's the strong arm)
Someone's coming after me
(It's the long arm of the law)
And I'm running, running, yeah
Now don't protest your innocence
Only the dead get off scot-free
When the judge says, "Who done it?"
You'll be crying, "Not me, not me"
When I got older, it was worse
First words I ever heard
"Nobody move, nobody get hurt"
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
After the war in Paraguay back in 1999
I was laying low in Lima
Working both sides of the borderline
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
It's the long arm (It's the long arm)
It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm)
It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law
You can run, but you can't hide
(You can't hide)
Well, I have to live like a fugitive
(It's the long arm, it's the strong arm)
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
(It's the long arm of the law)
(It's the long arm, it's the strong arm)
Someone's coming after me
(It's the long arm of the law)
And I'm running, running, yeah
Now don't protest your innocence
Only the dead get off scot-free
When the judge says, "Who done it?"
You'll be crying, "Not me, not me"
