Swing For The Crime

Swing For The Crime - The Saints
Locked in a room full of words
I know one I'd mentioned with the curs
The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his
young lover now beguiled
The sycophantic morons lie at
Romeo who is the bride, let's ride
Stoned as I walk down the hall
The adman waits to hear the curse
and call
The angels scream in discontent
as to the river they are lent
The actors bow and pay the rent,
the government may close them in
Let's swing for the crime
everyone in double time
And we hope that you had a good time
Yeah you can smile
as you sign on the line
Because life on your knees can be fun
Surprised now you're not the only one
Led like a lamb into this gloom
Yeah Freud is in the
back room with his goons
Now they've got new experiments,
the metal groans the lens are rent
The anti-hero's mock dissent,
we mark it now by mass content
We swing for the crime
everyone in double time
Scream like you're birthday to cry
Is changed by the words that you learned
But Jack the ripper is inside
And Moriarty has imbibed
They leave the marry all the while
Laugh at how they're circumcised
They swing for the crime
everyone in double time
And we hope that you had a good time
Yeah smile as you sign on the line
Because life on your knees can be fun
Are you glad that you're not the only one?
