Cops and Robbers Songtext
von Shakey Graves

I might be the worst but you′d know the best
You drive the car, I'll do the rest
The getaway was quick and clean
We make an awful perfect team
You never know how fast you run
Until the bullet leaves the gun
Everybody on the floor this is a stick up

Why would you sink so low?
Just to get high

Crime
It′s a young man's game
I wanna take you where I'm going
Half the fun is never knowing
If and why
We′ve lost our way
To find that everything in life
Is worth its price
But there′s nothing you can't steal


I couldn′t stop, I couldn't say
My innocence was locked away
It′s far too late 'cause now you′ve seen
All the wicked parts of me
The bully got the girl next-door
I had it all but wanted more
So give me everything in the register

Why would you sink so low?
Just to get high

Crime
It's a young man's game
I wanna take you where I′m going
Half the fun is never knowing
If and why
We′ve lost our way
To find that everything in life
Is worth its price
But there's nothing you can′t steal
No, there's nothing you can′t steal

Young man what did you do?
I saw your face on the six o'clock news
Had to get your 15 minutes somehow
Judge not, lest ye be judged
Fear not unbearable love
Oh, what a life of


Crime
It′s a young man's game
I wanna take you where I'm going
′Cause half the fun is never knowing
If and why
We′ve lost our way
To find that everything in life
Is worth its price
But there's nothing you can′t steal
No, there's nothing you can′t steal
No (no), nothing you can't steal
