Chorus


Verse 3: Follow same format as verse 1

When you can't define the crime
Then life ain't worth a dime

Verse 4: follow same format as verse 2

When they take away everything you got
And they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight

Chorus


Solo

Sex is like a gun
You aim, you shoot, you run

When you're splittin' hairs with Mr.Clean
It's like getting head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun

Repeat Chorus
