Don't Take Me Alive

Agents of the law

Luckless pedestrian

I know you're out there

With rage in your eyes and your megaphones

Saying, "All is forgiven"

Mad Dog surrender

How can I answer?

A man of my mind can do anything

I'm a bookkeeper's son

I don't wanna shoot no one

Well, I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive

Got a case of dynamite

I could hold out here all night

Yes, I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive

Can you hear the evil crowd?

The lies and the laughter

I hear my inside

The mechanized hum of another world

Where no sun is shining

No red light flashing

Here in this darkness

I know what I've done

I know all at once who I am

I'm a bookkeeper's son

I don't wanna shoot no one

Well, I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive

Got a case of dynamite

I could hold out here all night

Yes, I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive

I'm a bookkeeper's son

I don't wanna shoot no one

Well, I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive

Got a case of dynamite

I could hold out here all night

Yes, I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive

Don't take me alive
