Текст песни: The Long Arm Of The Law (Transverse City 1989)

The Long Arm of the Law Lyrics[Verse 1]
When I was young, times were hard
When I got older, it was worse
First words I ever heard
"Nobody move, nobody get hurt"

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
After the war in Paraguay
Back in 1999
I was laying low in Lima
Working both sides of the borderline

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
You can run, but you can't hide (You can't hide)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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"

[Instrumental Outro]
