Long Shot (Kick de Bucket) Songtext
von The Specials

Spoken: " Bernie Rhodes, know′s don't argue."
Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg L.P?
Said you′ve been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me.

Can′t fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime?
I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we′re living in gangster times.


"Don't call me Scarface!"

Don′t interrupt while I'm talking
Or they′ll confiscate all your guitars.
A catch - 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star.

Don′t offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime.
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster times.
"Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue."
