The Long Arm of the Law

It was the same back then
 And it will be again
 With the same shady disguise as the last time
 You never knew that you would have something to do
 With the long arm of the law and the old ones
 It was the same back then
 You discovered a ten
 With a strict night at the school for the new ones
 You couldn't tell that you would have something to do
 With the dust darkening down for the dead ones
 And you headed to the background
 Eyes would never look forward
 Ten times out of ten now
 Things were looking oh but then
 Heads were gonna roll down
 Quiter than the devotion
 I was in the background
 It was the same back then
 And it happened again
 With the new look in the eyes of the old ones
 You never knew that you would have something to do
 With the long arm of the law and the dead ones
 And you headed to the background
 Eyes would never look forward
 Ten times out of ten now
 Things were looking oh but then
 Heads were gonna roll here
 Quiter than the devotion
 I was in the background
 Holding on for dear life
 And I never decided, but I do know
 I never decided, but I do know...
