You took your
fiftyseven Holden
right across the nation
Shooting up public schools
and service stations
Never been arrested
and you never thought
you would
Told the officer
sorry to keep you waiting
Takes a lot of time
to do the work of Satan
Now you're looking at
twenty years
and you're looking good
Passed out in the pub
like a common asshole
twenty dollar bill
sticking out of your nostril
Called the paramedics
but they could not kick start
Your heart
And now you're blue
as blue as a boy could be
and the prognosis isn't good
Now you're looking
at an early grave
and you're looking good
Well your hands are dirty
but your shirt is clean
You'll make the best
looking corpse
the world has ever seen
Now you're looking
at an early grave
and you're looking good
Brought up by your daddy
to respect religion
What the father did in
boarding school just
wasn't Christian
Your silence paid
for your college
tuition fees
The memories were so blue
as blue as a boy could be
Your children never
understood
Now you're looking
at twenty years
and you're looking good
Well your hands are dirty
but your shirt is clean
You're on the front
of every newspaper
and magazine
The lawyer told the jury
you were just misunderstood
Well your mind is dirty
but your pants are clean
Every where you
go you've always
gotta make a scene
Now you're looking at
twenty years and you're
looking good
Oh no
now you're looking
at twenty years
and you're looking good
