Warren Zevon — The Long Arm of the Law

[Verse 1] When I was young, times were hard When I got older, it was worse First words I ever heard "Nobody move, nobody get hurt" [Chorus] It's the long arm (It's the long arm) It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm) It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law It's the long arm (It's the long arm) It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm) It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law [Verse 2] After the war in Paraguay Back in 1999 I was laying low in Lima Working both sides of the borderline [Chorus] It's the long arm (It's the long arm) It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm) It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law It's the long arm (It's the long arm) It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm) It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law It's the long arm (It's the long arm) It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm) It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law It's the long arm (It's the long arm) It's the strong arm (It's the strong arm) It's the long arm (It's the arm) of the law [Bridge] You can run, but you can't hide (You can't hide) [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Well, I have to live like a fugitive (It's the long arm, it's the strong arm) Oh, yeah, oh, yeah (It's the long arm of the law) (It's the long arm, it's the strong arm) Someone's coming after me (It's the long arm of the law) And I'm running, running, yeah [Verse 3] Now don't protest your innocence Only the dead get off scot-free When the judge says, "Who done it?" You'll be crying, "Not me, not me" [Instrumental Outro]
