lyrics

This Brooklyn bastard’s coming out of his shell
This Brooklyn bastard is as stubborn as all hell
This Brooklyn bastard used to think he had the power to choose
This Brooklyn bastard… looks like he’s blowing a fuse

This Brooklyn bastard’s been washing out the stains
This Brooklyn bastard’s got ice cubes in his veins
This Brooklyn bastard’s got a big ass case of the blues
This Brooklyn bastard… well, he’s got nothing to lose

After the romance of a life time made shrapnel of his heart
Someone sold the donkey and held onto the cart
I guess you could say they kind of drifted apart
And now he’s got to hang his head down low

This Brooklyn bastard’s got away with not caring
This Brooklyn bastard’s got a mouth made for swearing
This Brooklyn bastard’s got nerves made of steel
This Brooklyn bastard… he has planned his final meal

After the sentence of a lifetime, there appeared no hope for bail
It was the price he had to pay and now, the check is in the mail
I guess you could say it was a fool who told the tale,
And now he’s got to lay his head down low

This Brooklyn bastard… don’t know quite what to do
This Brooklyn bastard’s gonna ride the whole night through
This Brooklyn bastard… when you wake up you will be O.K.
This Brooklyn bastard… will be many miles away
