American Gangster Time |
Somewhere downtown a pretty girl kneels |
Offers her soft lips and a handful of pills |
Peels off her dress and then the rest of her skills |
It buys what she wants and the rest she just steals |
He speaks between deep swallows of rum |
While her head is beating like a big bass drum |
And she wishes he were mute and not just dumb |
When the trick asked her quick, «Did you come?» |
It’s a drag |
Saluting that starry rag |
I’d rather go blind |
For speaking my mind |
Or use it just like a gag |
So raise it in anger |
Just let it hang |
American Gangster Time |
He sits back and starts to invent |
All about some Saigon correspondent |
«'Til the carbine fell silent and spent |
I never knew it could be so eloquent» |
Next week there’ll be some fashionable new sin |
For each harlot and each Puritan |
Pull off their wings stick them on a pin |
And just watch the money roll in |
It’s a drag |
Saluting that starry rag |
I’d rather go blind |
For speaking my mind |
Or use it just like a gag |
So raise it in anger |
Just let it hang |
American Gangster Time |
What you got hidden up your sleeve? |
The tracks of the train that were bidding you to leave |
When they say that you should flatter to deceive |
Don’t count on any reprieve |
The hands of the helpless are raised |
Your dead little secrets are praised |
The people stand dumbstruck and dazed |
By the inches that you have erased |
It’s a drag |
Saluting that starry rag |
I’d rather go blind |
For speaking my mind |
Or use it just like a gag |
So raise it in anger |
Just let it hang |
American gangster time |
Committing the perfect crime |
In American Gangster Time |
Here we go |
Bye bye |
