Five Years Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uptown, downtown
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown

[Chorus]
You're five years dead
Five years dead

[Verse 2]
Sexy Sue from Hong Kong
Asked around right and wrong
Out of town, change your name
Or ya get five years with a ball and chain

[Chorus]
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead

[Verse 3]
Your life's on a steady tilt
I stand around and watch you wilt
Lose or win, never mattered, mattered to you

[Verse 4]
They always said you'd fall apart
I took the bet but I missed the mark
The kid was bad, bad from the start

[Verse 5]
Left, right or up and down
The same old run around
Neighborhood professional
Your ass is running into the ground

[Chorus]
Five years dead
Five years dead

[Verse 1]
Uptown, downtown
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown

[Chorus]

Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
Five years dead
