Young Al Capone Songtext
von Rancid

In the army of Babylon I′m a young Al Capone, yeah
Myself an outlaw in the eyes of the Lord, yeah
Good man lose and the bad man win
And the Blind and sick I attenuate them

And the Barrels of concrete, melted steel
Black smoke rises like a ghost in the field
And the hardened lungs deep breathing the air
That stings the life from within me, brother

Succubus catches on and it won't let me go
No, the leprosy sets in and you got no glue
And the third world working on the factory floor
It′s so dark in there you can't see the sun no more


And the cold and burnt are frostbitten hands
Leaves you like a flower that's been pulled from the sands
And the rabid dogs, they′re chewing at my feet
Trying to protect their side of the street

Well army of Babylon, young Al Capone yeah
Army of Babylon, young Al Capone yeah
Young Al Capone yeah, young Al Capone yeah
Young Al Capone yeah, young Al Capone yeah

In the darkness among lonely spirits
Hopeless atmosphere, steel gates spear it
So simplistic, so realistic, so sadistic
Yeah you lose it all yeah

Army of Babylon, young Al Capone yeah
Army of Babylon, young Al Capone yeah
Young Al Capone yeah, young Al Capone yeah
Young Al Capone yeah, young Al Capone yeah

Ok Tim, take this one home
