Martial Law — текст песни (Lou Reed)

Ive declared a truce, so stop your fighting

The marshall is in town

I wont put up with no big mouth yapping

At least not while Im around

This is my friend ace, hes from the 8th precinct

Nothing goes on that he dont know

And weve been send cause your arguments

Have been going on for too long

And before one of you hurts the other one of you

Im declaring martial law



I came, I saw, I declared martial law

Im the marshall in the city

The jails are filled with people like you

You oughta listen to your diddy-wah-diddy

Whats a girl like you doing with that lamp

You better drop it down on the floor

And son, that isnt very smart

Kicking a hole in that door

Hey, ace will you take a look at this place

And get those neighbors out of the hall

Im declaring martial law



I came, I saw, I declared martial law

cause Im the marshall in the city

And if you stand away, Ive got something to say

That I might even help you

Keep your hands to yourself and keep your big mouth shut

Dont you touch nobody with hate-hate-hate-hate

And if all youve got is poison in your mouth

Make sure that you dont speak

Its 3:30 in the early morning

Dont punch, dont scratch, dont bite

Try not to take the garbage of the day

Any place but outside



Now me and mr. ace are gonna leave this place

And this fightings gonna end

And if were called back, Im gonna knock you flat

And stack you end to end



Ah, I came, I saw, I declared martial law

Im the marshall in the city

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

Im the marshall in the city, ooohhh

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

Im the marshall in the city

I came, I saw, I declared martial law

cause Im the marshall in the city
