Lyrics Violent Femmes

Violent Femmes

Key of 2

Well I was sentenced to prison

To do about one year

They said it isn't so bad

We got a good band here

We play every Wednesday night

Sometimes Tuesday too

It's the music of the future and it will get to you

When I heard the band for the first time

They has no rhythm, they had no rhyme

Well it almost like a dream

I never wanted to have

It drove me crazy, it drove me mad

The man said: "C'mon and play

And here's an instrument for you

It's an ancient flute

It's in the key of 2. Blow..."

I gotta get more time

I gotta stay in here

I used to be foggy

But the music made me clear

Now the jail is rockin' like Elvis never knew

I'm on the inside now

I'm in the key of 2

Now we all are lifers and I'm in the band too

We play my favorite song

It's in the key of 2

And it will get to you

It's the music of the future and it will get to you

And it will get to you

It's the music of the future

It's in the key of 2
