NAZARETH - Take The Rap lyrics

rate me

You were lookin' at your mother

So you went and told your father

Daddy don't say nothin' he's got plenty in his past

Changed your way of thinkin'

So you started drinkin'

And you got arrested for drivin' blind

Take the rap, take the rap

It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap

It was lined up on the mirror

And you just started shavin'

Didn't know what you were smokin'

Cigarette came from a friend

Judge said you're delinquent

You don't want to think it

So you put your head down, started servin' time

Take the rap, take the rap

It's gonna break your back, take the rap

Tried to talkbut I got nothin' to prove--why you want to?

Tried to run they took away my shoes--why you want to?

Why you want me to take the rap?

Take the rap, take the rap

It's gonna break your back, take the rap

Well your damned if iron bars'll

Keep you rottin' in a prison

Hell is lookin' better 'cause you'll

Never get to heaven

See your chance and take it

Sure you're gonna make it

You're prepared to take it 'cause you're never gonna...

Take the rap, take the rap

It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap
