Peculiar Lyrics by The Slackers

Peculiar

0

I committed no crime but it seems that I have no place to hide
I had a bad disposition and a pistol all loaded for suicide
And though I didn't act, that don't really matter
The law books they are fat, the lawyers they get fatter
And I'll be lucky if they ship me to Siberia

I've got two mad women, no mother, and a brother who prays for me
And as for my man Ivan, if I'm lucky, maybe he'll take the blame for me
Or maybe I'll get loaded, end up in a fight
Or maybe I'll go down just like the other night
But I'll be lucky if they ship me to Siberia

Well Father was peculiar, and now the fruit it don't fall to far away
So what's it to ya? If he was here I know he would say
No, he'd tell ya, I didn't do those crimes you claim
No, he'd tell ya, I didn't do those things you say

Well, Father was peculiar and we both ended up with the same girl
If you call me obsessive, well it kind of underestimates my behavior
Now everyone believes in an imminent conviction
Everybody knew my overall intentions
And I'll be lucky if they ship me to Siberia

Now Father was peculiar, and now the fruit it did fall so far away
Well, what's it to ya? If he were here I know he would say
No, he'd tell ya, I didn't do those crimes you claim
No, he'd tell ya, I didn't do those things you say

Now the judge and the jury and the people in the city, they all talk about (talk, talk, talk)
The people in my life like they're someone in a movie on your night out

Evidence is bad and it don't look like I'm getting out of here
And as for the man who done it, he fixed it up nice, he made it very clear
But Ivan understands, when everything is awful
You do just what you can because everything is lawful
And I'll be lucky if he can break me outta here
And I say, come on man!

Well Father was peculiar
Yeah, so what's it to ya?
It didn't mean I did those crimes you say
Hey!
I said Father was peculiar
Yeah, so what's it to ya?
Still I didn't do those crimes you say
You say, you say
Father, Father was peculiar
Didn't mean I did no crimes
