lyrics

Good intentions fizzle out of the norm
When the younger crowd start taking out their standards by storm
Saying there’s no wrong in playing their crime
People do it all the time
You can put your money on that mother of worth
But don’t try blaming someone else when she’s the queen of the earth
Cause if you go try at playing their crime
Best be sure you leave your schooling behind

Nobody’s gonna have a reason to show you the daylight
Nobody’s gonna come between you and your play crime

I think Allen Halley was ahead of his time
Boy won fame by pen and paper never wrote a damn line cause he said
There’s no wrong in playing their crime
People do it all the time
You can try to be human in a world of machine
When all that matters is you keep your record Stillson-clean
But if you go try at playing their crime
Best be sure you leave your schooling behind

Nobody’s gonna have a reason to show you the daylight
Nobody’s gonna come between you and your play crime
