The Informer |
Isn’t it strange meeting you here |
Two old friends |
Just sitting down quietly drinking a beer |
But knowing your past the way that I do After all this time I’m surprised |
You’d even come to this rendezvous |
They say you went and moved across the border |
So it’s hard to believe |
That you’re sitting here with me tonight |
I know you’re on the run, you shouldn’t be here |
But do you feel the fear |
When you meet an old friend and the enemy’s near |
It’s strange we always go to church on Sundays |
After getting right out of it on a Saturday night |
And if we stay here too long, I know that we’ll quarrel |
And end up having a fight |
Just a couple of losers putting the world to right |
Just two people having a beer |
But on either side there is so much anger |
And so much fear |
Just two people trying to get by But we’re torn apart |
Because of different pressures |
From different sides |
I hear you’re on the run from law and order |
But you had to show up |
'Cos you knew it was a matter of pride |
But beliefs aside, religion apart |
Did you ever think about all the suffering you caused |
And all the broken hearts? |
The word is out that you are the informer |
Who gave me away without so much as a fight |
So be a good friend |
And let me take you quietly without a fight |
I’ll be the one who’s |
Gonna take you home tonight |
I’ll be the one who’s |
Gonna take you home tonight |
