LOU REED

LOU REED - Martial Law lyrics

rate me

I've declared a truce, so stop your fighting

the marshall is in town

I won't put up with no big mouth yapping

at least not while I'm around

This is my friend Ace, he's from the 8th precinct

nothing goes on that he don't know

And we've been send cause your arguments

have been going on for too long

And before one of you hurts the other one of you

I'm declaring martial law

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

I'm the marshall in the city

The jails are filled with people like you

you oughta listen to your diddy-wah-diddy

What's a girl like you doing with that lamp

you better drop it down on the floor

And son, that isn't very smart

kicking a hole in that door

Hey, Ace will you take a look at this place

and get those neighbors out of the hall

I'm declaring martial law

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

'cause I'm the marshall in the city

And if you stand away, I've got something to say

that I might even help you

Keep your hands to yourself and keep your big mouth shut

don't you touch nobody with hate-hate-hate-hate

And if all you've got is poison in your mouth

make sure that you don't speak

It's 3:30 in the early morning

don't punch, don't scratch, don't bite

Try not to take the garbage of the day

any place but outside

Now me and Mr. Ace are gonna leave this place

and this fighting's gonna end

And if we're called back, I'm gonna knock you flat

and stack you end to end

Ah, I came, I saw, I declared martial law

I'm the marshall in the city

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

I'm the marshall in the city, ooohhh

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

I'm the marshall in the city

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

'cause I'm the marshall in the city
