Alkatraz

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Welcome to the show
Are ya ready?
3, 2, 1 (ok)

Knock-knock, howdy fellas! Here comes the trouble
We're by night the devil's half-time ragtime rustlers
Untouchable charisma and spifflicated muscle
Split the difference, ya get the real honky-tonk hustle
Hell's unbroken stallions, valiant swing rapscallions
Bringing back the oki-doki, fuck off mentality

An advantageous place of our own, where having fun wins, so
Uncourageous fakers best be knowing their onions, okay?
So much for tryna’ keep the record clean and stainless
Son'na koto nai to omotta
(Huh? I didn’t think it was like that)
But there’s a line between defying the law and acting brainless

Nante tta? Shinuhodo warota
(Sorry, what? I laughed myself to death!)
(Geez)
We got the real sockdolager sounds
And everybody wants a piece, but all I want is to peace out!!
An off-the-beat town of scoffing clowns who act tough
Show 'em what hell is
Only jealous 'cuz they can't catch up

So come one (let's keep it movin')
I'll break these iron chains they've got me locked in
Raise hell myself 'cause all you're doin's talkin'!
So don't tell me how to break the law
I don't buy what you're selling
You say you're gonna set me free
Well, you take too long

Hey what's the hold up
I'm sick of being holed up, and told what
To say and what to stand for by the man that's in control but
Off-handed and unplanned escape's a ticket to goodnight
But the animal's need to be freed's a stick of dynamite
So welcome one and welcome and all, to satan's hell in jail-cell walls

Regard the riotous lunacy till opportunity calls
A demon's game of chance, or poker for souls
But here the warden plays a hand wherein the joker is the one in control
I guess you could say the devil's off my shoulder
Ha ha, hilarious
Despair upon the worthless
Behind the slick, sophisticated composure

He who runs a circus tends to be nefariously merciless
But if I had your soul, we could make a break for it
Give and takin', given what's a stake, don't gotta hate me for it!
Hide our claws, obey their ridiculous laws and mimic their dance
Be reverential soldiers 'till we get that chance!

So come on (let's keep it movin')
I'll break these iron chains they've got me locked in
Raise hell myself 'cuz all you're doin's talkin'
So don't tell me how to break the law
I don't buy what you're selling
You say you're gonna set me free
Well, you take too long

1, 2, 3, 4
Countin' down the second 'till we aim for the door
We gotta sneak out the back, stop overthinking
And peak through the cracks, take out the kingping
This moment determines if we're swimmin' or sinkin'
An unforeseen deterrent could arise, so no blinkin'
A wink of the eye, a minor slight of the hand

I'm gonna make it out alive with or without cha', man
So are you in or you out? Don't complicate this
You hurry up, you'll enter right in time for the great twist
Of fate, it's the grande finale, so take a bow
Curtains down, ding-dong
Sorry, you take too long
Man, you take too long

I can't wait, so come on
(Let's keep it movin')
I'll break these iron chains they've got me locked in
Raise hell myself 'cause all you're doin's talkin'
So don't tell me how to break the law
I don't buy what you're selling

You say you're gonna set me free
Well, you take too long
(You say you're gonna set me free)
(Yeah, you say you're gonna set me free)
Well you take too long
