Lou Reed - Martial Law Lyrics
Ive declared a truce, so stop your fightingThe marshall is in townI wont put up with no big mouth yappingAt least not while Im aroundThis is my friend ace, hes from the 8th precinctNothing goes on that he dont knowAnd weve been send cause your argumentsHave been going on for too longAnd before one of you hurts the other one of youIm declaring martial lawI came, I saw, I declared martial lawIm the marshall in the cityThe jails are filled with people like youYou oughta listen to your diddy-wah-diddyWhats a girl like you doing with that lampYou better drop it down on the floorAnd son, that isnt very smartKicking a hole in that doorHey, ace will you take a look at this placeAnd get those neighbors out of the hallIm declaring martial lawI came, I saw, I declared martial lawcause Im the marshall in the cityAnd if you stand away, Ive got something to sayThat I might even help youKeep your hands to yourself and keep your big mouth shutDont you touch nobody with hate-hate-hate-hateAnd if all youve got is poison in your mouthMake sure that you dont speakIts 3:30 in the early morningDont punch, dont scratch, dont biteTry not to take the garbage of the dayAny place but outsideNow me and mr. ace are gonna leave this placeAnd this fightings gonna endAnd if were called back, Im gonna knock you flatAnd stack you end to endAh, I came, I saw, I declared martial lawIm the marshall in the cityI came, I saw, I declared martial lawIm the marshall in the city, ooohhhI came, I saw, I declared martial lawIm the marshall in the cityI came, I saw, I declared martial lawcause Im the marshall in the city
