Behind Bars Lyrics by Razor

Violent Restitution

1988

[Verse 1]
You never thought I'd do it, you never saw it coming
But it happened and they caught you in the act
I used you for a set-up, I used you for a decoy
And you fool, you went and fell into the trap
You took me for an ally but I knew you were an enemy
You got what you deserved because I'm shrewd
You knew I was an expert in the art of pulling rip-offs
But you never dreamed I'd put the heat on you

[Chorus]
I took the cash, you took the fall
You got arrested, I had a ball
You went to jail, I stole your car
I'm having fun while you're behind bars

[Verse 2]
You tried to tell the cops but they laughed right in your face
But now they're gonna throw the book at you
Tough lesson for a rookie but they caught you with the cookie
And now your brief career as thief is through
I'm the master scammer while they threw you in the slammer
I was in your car and made my getaway
I'm counting tens and twenties, yeah, I'm counting all your money
And you know I'm gonna spend it all today

[Chorus]
I took the cash, you took the fall
You got arrested, I had a ball
You went to jail, I stole your car
I'm having fun while you're behind bars

[Verse 3]
So if you wanna pull a heist you'd better get some good advice
Before you meet another creep like me
Don't really think you like your cell, I think you'd rather be in hell
But now I know the art of running free
I know you really hate me and I know you wanna waste me
But I also know you're smarter than you look
So when they do parole you and you think you're on a roll
You'd better think before I bait another hook for you

[Chorus]
I took the cash, you took the fall
You got arrested, I had a ball
You went to jail, I stole your car
I'm having fun while you're behind bars

[Chorus]
I took the cash, you took the fall
You got arrested, I had a ball
You went to jail, I stole your car
I'm having fun while you're behind bars
