[00:23.00]
[00:24.51]Living on them pills lying in squalor,
[00:27.53]That's the life of the late night bar crawler
[00:29.79]Most outrageous man I met he once said,
[00:32.31]"I could take a belly full of lead and wouldn't wind up dead."
[00:34.52]He wants his song to make you shiver a little
[00:36.96]Like there's a ghost coming your way
[00:39.33]Have you ever been told that something's forever,
[00:41.67]and had your heart broken the very next day.
[00:44.37]
[00:45.22]Shout it from the rooftop
[00:49.31]You can shout it from the rooftop
[00:53.23]But you can't tell it to the paper,
[00:57.15]they've already been paid
[01:00.18]
[01:02.34]To be ten different people that's easy,
[01:04.92]it's easier than being yourself
[01:07.21]I'm the one off pretender I'm not happy,
[01:09.93]picking life off the shelf
[01:11.37]He taught me, time wasted, is time spent well
[01:16.73]The a mans dead if he doesn't have a story to tell
[01:18.73]Dead if he's lying in a dirty jail cell
[01:20.63]
[01:21.50]Coz when your down they'll kick you,
[01:24.97]the jury doesn't matter at all
[01:27.04]The jury doesn't matter at all
[01:30.53]Tell me officer when your baton kissed me,
[01:34.51]did it make you feel tall?
[01:37.55]
[01:59.09]And no one asked you where you come from,
[02:05.07]No one told you of these times,
[02:09.70]And no one asked you where you come from,
[02:14.48]No one told you of these times.
[02:19.40]
[02:26.58]This is your life don't waste it,
[02:29.88]Why don't you run away?
[02:32.27]A man to reckon with he knows how to persuade,
[02:34.54]Says you won't get a sun tan in this government shade,
[02:36.87]Does it make you quiver a little, the way they say,
[02:42.34]"We're gonna fuck you ,
[02:43.95]take a little bit of freedom away every day.
[02:46.45]
[02:47.11]You can shout it from the rooftops
[02:51.30]You can shout it from the rooftops
[02:55.97]You can shout it from the rooftops
[03:00.56]But you can't tell it to the paper, they've already been paid.
