Speakeasy Songtext
von RJ Thompson

I see everything
A chief at the podium with eyes on the revelry
I see puppet strings
A marshmallow man stepping down on the city streets

(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
Like a loaded gun
(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
Spinning in the speakeasy

I see blackmailing
A beauty pageant judge with his hand in Mississippi
I see diamond rings
Making promises of peace, taking lives in a shooting spree


(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
Like a loaded gun
(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
Spinning in the speakeasy

Selling souls like hot potatoes, downstream the water brings
Poison stronger than tobacco, oh how we′ve grown
Lying to Saint Peter when the gates aren't opening
Hating just to pay the meter, oh how we′ve grown
Oh how we've grown, oh how we've grown

I see bordering,
A child without a family with designs on a-running free
I see clamouring, a manufactured fear in the place of your empathy


(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
Like a loaded gun
(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
You′re the sober one
(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
Like a loaded gun
(Do-Do-Dah-Do-Do)
Spinning in the speakeasy
