The Slackers - Peculiar lyrics
Your rating:
Well I committed no crime but it seems that I have no place to hide I had a bad disposition and a pistol, all loaded for suicide And though I didn't act, that don't really matter The law books, they are fat, the lawyers, they get fatter And I'll be lucky if they ship me to Siberia I got two mad women, no mother, and a brother who prays for me And it's for my man Ivan if I'm lucky he'll take the blame for me Or maybe I'll get loaded, end up in a fight Or maybe I'll go down just like the other night But I'll be lucky if they ship me to Siberia Well, father was peculiar And now the fruit it don't fall too far away So what's it to ya? If he was here, I know he would say, No he'd tell ya, I didn't do the crimes you claim No he'd tell ya, I didn't do those things you say Well father was peculiar and we both ended up with the same girl If you call me obsessive well it kind of underestimates my behaviour Now everyone believes in an imminent conviction Everybody knew my overall intentions And I'll be lucky if they ship me to Siberia And now the fruit it didn't fall so far away So what's it to ya? If he was here, I know he would say, No he'd tell ya that I didn't do the crimes you claim No he'd tell ya that I didn't do those things you say Well the judge and the jury and the people in the city They all talk about (Talk, talk, talk...) The people in my life like they're someone in a movie on your... night... out... Evidence is bad and it don't look like I'm getting' outta here And the man who really done it, well he fixed it up nice, made it very clear Oh, but Ivan understands when everything is awful You do just what you can, 'cause everything is lawful And I'll be luck if he can break me outta here And I say, come on man Well, father was peculiar Yeah, so what's it to ya? It didn't mean I did those crimes you say Hey, I said Well, father was peculiar Yeah, so what's it to ya? Still I didn't do those crimes you say You say You say Father Father was peculiar Didn't mean I did those crimes...
