Well he was fueled by a lack
|
Drew inspiration from a need
|
So many problems to crack
|
And mouths to feed
|
Crooked was the path
|
And brazen was the walk
|
A cocky swagger, up the ladder
|
And could he ever talk
|
The last hurrah?
|
Nah! I'd do it again
|
The Rascal King behind the bars
|
Or the one in front of them
|
The love of God
|
And constant contradictions
|
With just a smile, wink or nod
|
What's stranger fact or fiction?
|
And never ceasing to amaze
|
On a regular basis
|
First hand into his pocket
|
Or first fist into the faces
|
The last hurrah?
|
Nah! I'd do it again
|
The Rascal King behind the bars
|
Or the one in front of them
|
A legendary character
|
When?
|
Only then Where?
|
Only there
|
A hero or a hooligan?
|
Well, that part's never clear
|
Pride or shame, it's all the same
|
Who's innocent or who's to blame?
|
Politics or just a game?
|
Well in the end they knew his name
|
The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again
|
The Rascal King behind the bars
|
Or the one in front of them
|
