Live alife of crime livin’ on the sideline
I’m doin fine livin’ on the sideline

I ain’t gonna mix with ‘um psychos around me
I prefer to operate alone
I don’t need no gang for protection
I get my rocks off workin’ on my own
Some say I’m a wind
Some say I’m diseased some say I’m high
Plenty folks think this job went to my head
My no good family knows I’m only shy

I’m doin’ fine livin’ on the sideline
Live a life of crime livin’ on the sideline

Guess I’m a wildman shoutin’ like a flag
Well you better get used to that voice
This no good black devil instinct won’t stop
As long as I’m kickin’ with the boys
See ‘um daddies high on hard liquor
Try to keep the children clean
Suspicious Japanese gentlemen
Try and keep my garden green

Sundaymornin’ and the folks are in church
No one to cheat or to explain my pain
I’m gonna go where the jukebox jumps
I ain’t gonna miss my train

I’m doin’ fine livin’ on the sideline
Live a life of crime livin’ on the sideline

Guess I’m asocial that’s fine with me
I don’t wanna be part of your community
Wild eyed fanatic create nothing but stress
Weekend shoppin’ mob feelin’ good spendin’cash
I feel good operatin’ alone
I’m a lone wolf I can count on my own
I feel so good livin’ the life of crime
I’m a lone wolf I never miss no sign

I’m doin’ fine livin’ on the sideline
Live al life of crime livin’ on the sideline
I never miss a sign livin’ on the sideline
