Swing for the Crime

Locked in a room full of words

I know one I'd mentioned with the curs*

The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now

beguiled

The sycophantic morons lie at Romeo who is the bride,

let's ride

Stoned as I walk down the hall

The adman waits to hear the curse and call*

The angels scream in discontent as to the river they

are lent*

The actors bow and pay the rent, the government may

close them in*

Let's swing for the crime everyone in double time

And we hope that you had a good time

Yeah you can smile as you sign on the line

Because life on your knees can be fun

Surprised now you're not the only one

Led like a lamb into this gloom

Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons

Now they've got new experiments, the metal groans the

lens are rent*

The anti-hero's mock dissent, we mark it now by mass

content

We swing for the crime everyone in double time

Scream like you're birthday to cry*

Is changed by the words that you learned

But Jack the ripper is inside

And Moriarty has imbibed

They leave the marry all the while*

Laugh at how they're circumcised*

They swing for the crime everyone in double time

And we hope that you had a good time

Yeah smile as you sign on the line

Because life on your knees can be fun

Are you glad that you're not the only one?
