Death for Bonnie & Clyde

from Dead People by Daniel Bonespur

/

lyrics

someday they're going take them both down
and they'll bury them side by side
to some it will be grief, to the law a relief
but it's death for bonnie and clyde
yes it's death for bonnie and clyde

they say they are cold-blooded killers
they say they are ruthless and mean
but i say with pride that i once knew clyde
when he was honest, upright and clean

but the law kept taking him down
kept locking him up in a cell
'ti he said to me "i'll never be free
might as well me a few of them in hell"

if they try and act just like citizens
and rent themselves a nice little flat
by the third night they're invited to fight
by a subgun's rat-a-tat-tat

the road grows dimmer and dimmer
sometimes you can hardly see
it's a fight, man to man
and do all you can
for they know they'll never be free
just like we know we'll never be free

someday they're going to take them both down
and they'll bury them side by side
to some it will be grief, to the law a relief
but it's death for bonnie and clyde
yes it's death for bonnie and clyde
and it will death for us if we stay alive
