lyrics

TABOO

the cops are in the basement
and the roof is leaking blood
nobody paid the power bill
nobody paid the judge
it's been the loudest summer
I could never get no sleep
but I brushed up on my knife throwing
stuck one into next week

(chorus)
hey, the truth is the truth
but the law is the law
taboo is taboo
but I know what I saw


I bought illegal medicine
at the Cantina yesterday
it was not hashish or cocaine
it was a ripped out Bible page
I heard the rumor going around
the narc is going to die
looks like somebody's finding out
somebody's telling lies

(chorus)


I got a monkey on my back
and he looks just like me
looks like a fight right to the finish
one of us got to be free
the funny thing about a prison
is you lock yourself
take a lot of little steps down
then you bitch about how far you fell

(chorus)


so I pray for my enemies
but I take good care of my own
the faces I call family
the four walls where I make my home
and that's the spot where I am standing
and I'm telling you the truth
that ain't as easy as it sounds
try for yourself see how you do
try letting it loose
and good luck to you baby too

(chorus)


I told the truth one time
