lyrics

Had a friend who made a dime
Every bass note chime
Made a hustle with the law
The deputy he saw
It seems you can’t
Pay the bills by printing some at will
Caught without an alibi
In prison he may die
Breaking the rules to get by can be so cruel

Asked my brother lend a hand
For some one night stand
Penetrating penitentiary
In and out but no one to see
Seems you can’t, jump the fence then go all out from there
Made it out with the cat
Who got shot in the lat
Breaking the rules to get by can be so cruel

First night sold out
We put the fire to the crowd
Show kicked at nine past ten,
pigs showed up when a few notes rang
Seems you can’t, start a band with convicts on the run
Spend my life in a cell,
With the band as well
Breaking the rules to get by can be so cruel
Breaking the rules to get by can be so cruel
Breaking the rules to get by can be so cruel
