Ten To Life — текст песни (Royal Hunt)

Sun`s comin` up and news starts spreadin` around.
Yesterday`s gone, and you man I had to gun down, down, down.

Hey mister know it all - what the hell you gonna do?
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you.
You`ll run for cover, you`ll spit him in the eye,
You`ll pull the trigger! - don`t tell me lies...

My mother said straight way`s build on pride, yeah.
If wishes were horses then beggars would be ride, and ride, ride, ride.
Hey mister know it all - what the hell you gonna do?

When a jerk like that takes a swing at you.
You`ll call it even, you`ll desperately weep,
You`ll pull the trigger! - and nail that creep...

Ten to life - now the crime is done.
So long - I`m too far gone...
Ten to life - from a judge so fine,
Best man - that money can buy...

Took a shot but I`ve failed,
Now I`m dying in jail.
And it cuts like a knife,
I`m gettin` Ten To Life...

Just like a dream they busted me and put me away,
Over the hills and down to the slammer to stay.

Hey mister know it all - what the hell you gonna do?
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you.
You`ll turn another cheek, take livin` in disgrace,
You`ll pull the trigger - get off of my face...
