Let's discuss
This little vice.
And the shortcoming's
Of men and mice.

The judge and jury
All in one.
You passed a song
That's left unsung.

Have you heard
Let sleeping dogs lie?
Sometimes it's futile
To even try.

So when you're out
Late on your walk,
You must remember
Our little talk.

Can't straddle
Your thin white line.
Forcing me to do my time.

Hey, man,
When you up for parole?
I'm afraid not every
??? three years ago.

Well, I'm bustin' out
Right here and now.
And the first one down
Is your sacred cow.

Can't straddle
Your thin white line.
Forcing me to do my ti-i-ime.

Thin white line,
Thin white line,
Thin white...

Now words creep
When time's hand's tied,
They broke the noose
Clean, nearly cried.
And so it's true
The good die young,
And we sing these songs
Left unsung.

Can't straddle
Your thin white line.
Forcing me to do my time.

Thin white line,
Thin white line,
Thin white...
