The Wire Lyrics by Hot Dad

TV

0

On the Wire it's an awful long day
Wait for a signal, catch your big break
Spring into action, don't make a mistake
You keep playin' 'cause it's all in the game

On the Wire we're watchin' young kids
Slinging drugs, putting bullets in heads
Friend or foe? Enemy of the state?
Do what they know, 'cause it's all in the game

We have learned to love the Wire
We will talk about the Wire
Critics especially love the Wire
When we sleep, we dream the Wire

Baltimore surrounds you
Explore the purview
When the world abandons you
You do things you'd never do

McNulty, Rawls, Rhonda, Bunk too
Daniels, Kima, Carver, Herc, Prez, Snoop
Marlo, Omar, Bodie, Avon Barksdale
Stringer Bell, Bubbles, Bunny's Hampsterdam
Proposition Joe, Clay Davis, Chris
D'Angelo, Carcetti, Ziggy, Frank and Slim
Snyder, Cutty, Maury, Jukie, Wee-Bey, Cheese
David Simon, HBO, the Wire, please

We have learned to love the Wire
We will talk about the Wire
Critics especially love the Wire
When we sleep, we dream the Wire
