Lyrics




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 c*cky 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 a smile, wink, or nod.

What`s stranger, fact or fiction?

And never ceasing to amaze me on a regular basis.

First hand in 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 just 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?
