Testo Martial Law - Lou Reed
Testo della canzone Martial Law (Lou Reed), tratta dall'album Legendary Hearts
I've declared a truce, so stop your fighting
The marshal is in town
I won't put up with no big mouth yapping
At least not while I'm around
This here is my friend, Ace, he's from the eighth precinct
Nothing goes on that he don't know
And we've been send 'cause your arguments
Have been going on too long
And before one of you hurts the other one of you
I'm declaring martial law
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
I'm the marshal in the city
The jails are filled with people like you
You oughta listen to your diddy-wah-diddy
What's a girl like you doing with that lamp?
You better drop that down on the floor
And son, that isn't very smart
Kicking a hole in that door
Hey Ace, will you take a look at this place
And get those neighbors out of the hall?
I'm declaring martial law
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
'Cause I'm the marshal in the city
And if you stand away, I've got something to say
That I might even help you
Keep your hands to yourself and keep your big mouth shut
Don't you touch nobody with hate-hate-hate-hate
And if all you've got is poison in your mouth
Make sure that you don't speak
It's 3:30 in the early morning
Don't punch, don't scratch, don't bite
Try not to take the garbage of the day
To any place else but outside
Now me and Mr. Ace are gonna leave this place
And this fighting's gonna end
And if we're called back, I'm gonna knock you flat
And stack you end to end
Ah, I came, I saw, I declared martial law
I'm the marshal in the city
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
I'm the marshal in the city, ooh
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
'Cause I'm the marshal in the city
I came, I saw, I declared martial law
'Cause I'm the marshal in the city
