Lyrics
Hey Phil
ooh hoo ooh hoo
Was it just a game that went bad
Evidence inside her handbag
judging from your history
And your gun collection
The DA and the jury
Will know of your connection
Chorus:
Hey Phil
You took the last train out of old hitsville
You won?t admit it now but Ronnie will
And still you act as if it?s no big deal
The veil around the truth is blowing down
Now there?s a deep dark hole
in your wall of sound
ooh hoo ooh hoo
Heard you had your trial extended
Money talks when you?re connected
I knew you were notorious
For shooting up speakers
Partying with pretty girls
And smoking lots of reefer
Repeat Chorus
ooh hoo ooh hoo
Do you think it?s 1968
Better check your watch it?s getting late
Maybe your attorneys have a plan
Can they wash the blood off your hands?
Repeat Chorus Twice
