Thom Chacon - Ain't Gonna Take Us Alive lyrics

rate me

Cruising down the streets under those neon lights

Waving at them pretty girls

Did that every Friday night!

It was me and brother Pete,

We were looking for a fight

Pete swung when he had the chance,

Ghetto kids in the heat of the night

And came the Phoenix police

Guns drown and waving in the air

Mexican kid bleeding on the grouund

Me and Pip, we ain't going anywhere!

Chorus:

I swear next time

They ain't gonna take us alive

And they ain't gonna take us alive next time!

Next boy, Angel went up dying

For me and my brothers it's over too

Judge said two less...

You gonna spend your last days wearing blue!

I'mma gonna miss my sweet Marie..

Yeah I'm gonna miss 7th Avenue

In this streets you ain't got a chance

Nothing anyone can ever do!

Chorus:

I swear next time

They ain't gonna take us alive

And they ain't gonna take us alive next time!

Counting days in Yuma prison

Yeah Pete is down on that Winslow crew

Tell our mother it ain't worth crying

Thought I'd be dead by 22.

I still miss my sweet Marie

Yeah, I still miss 7th Avenue

In here you ain't got a chance

Nothing anyone can ever do!

Chorus: (x2)

I swear next time

They ain't gonna take us alive

And they ain't gonna take us alive next time!
