Now you know that it's raining
You didn't see the tears
Won't bail you out this time
You sold protection
You need a baby sitter
Who's coming through the door
Well, yeah
It's like a pantomime
No use complaining about the hand that feeds
Took 'yes' for an answer
No peace for the wicked
If you've gone and done it
Just about to go off on the street
Fed the common fear
Now you've crossed the 'company'
Have tightened up the screw
You're like a loaded heater
To pick you up if you can't stand the heat, yeah
Feeling so uneasy
How come you talk to me?
Well, your friends in low places
You're always looking back to see
Well, your friends in high places
With the Judas kiss
Collecting for the loanshark with the silken fist
They've got you on the list, yeah
You gotta pay somehow
With all your social graces
Now you know that it's raining
The quality of mercy
You gotta pay somehow
How come you talk to me?
Yeah
No use complaining about the hand that feeds
You're trapped, what can you do?
They've made this town a nightmare
No way, no how
If you've gone and done it
You can't tell friend from foe
How come you talk to me?
Don't call on the ones you peeled
How come you talk to me?
Is really out of reach
