G#m E Eb E G#m E Eb E
[Verse]
G#m E Eb E
Johnny's in the basement, mixin' up the medicine,
G#m E Eb E
I'm on the pavement, thinking about the government.
G#m E Eb E
The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,
G#m E Eb E
Says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off.
[Chorus]
C# B Bbm B
Look out, kid, it's something you did,
C# B Bbm B
God knows when, but you're doin' it again.
C# B Bbm B
Better duck down the alleyway, lookin' for a new friend.
Eb
Man in the coonskin cap, in the big pen,
Eb
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten.
[Interlude]

[Verse]
G#m E Eb E
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot,
G#m E Eb E
Talking that the heat put plants in the bed but the phone's tapped anyway,
G#m E Eb E
Maggie says that many say, they must bust in early May,
G#m E Eb E
Orders from the D.A.
[Chorus]
C# B Bbm B
Look out, kid, don't matter what you did,
C# B Bbm B
Walk on your tiptoes, don't try No Doz.
Eb
Better stay away from those, that carry 'round a fire hose,
Eb
Keep a clean nose, watch the plainclothes, to know which way the wind blows.

Get sick, get well, hangin' 'round an inkwell,
G#m E Eb E
Ring a bell, hard to tell, it's gonna sell.
G#m E Eb E
Try hard, getin' barred, get back, write Braille,
G#m E Eb E
Getin' jailed, jump bail, join the army if you failm
