Lyrics
Frank Hammer
Verse 1
Bonnie and Clyde, got the world at their fingers?
Oh how they?re worshiped by the times.
At all the films, and the newsreels we?re watching?
Oh how they?re lighting up our eyes.
Quasi Chorus
But I don?t care for the silver screen or the big black printed lines.
Your life is only worth one life, and you?ve crossed that thin line.
And I don?t care for celebrity?not a damn for all your style.
You?ll just waste your charm on me cause I hate your filthy lives.
Chorus
And I can see you coming?
That stolen Ford is coming?
And you can?t see it but your gone.
Verse 2
So I grabbed a gun, my badge, and some marauders?
We lay in wait for Bo and Clyde.
At the mail drop?we set our sights ? our triggers,
and ended us two lives of crime.
Quasi Chorus
And I don?t care for the silver screen or the big black printed lines.
Your life is only worth one life, and you?ve crossed that thin line.
Yeah, I don?t care for celebrity? not a damn for all your style.
You?ll just waste you charm on me cause I hate your filthy lives.
Chorus
(repeated)
