Gangsters (Live)

[Verse 1: Terry Hall, Both]

Why must you record my phone calls?

Are you planning a bootleg LP?

You said you'd been threatened by gangsters

Now it's you that’s threatening me

[Chorus 1: Terry Hall, Lily Allen, Both]

Can't fight corruption with con tricks

They use the law to commit crime

And I dread, dread to think what the future'll bring

When we’re living in real gangster times

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2: Terry Hall, Lily Allen, Both]

Don't interrupt while I'm talking (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)

Or they'll confiscate all your guitars

And Catch 22 says if I sing the truth (C'mon everybody, up and down!)

They won't make me an overnight star

[Outro: Terry Hall, Lily Allen, Both]

Don't offer us legal protection

They use the law to commit crime

I dread, dread to think what the future will bring

When we're living in real gangster times
