Hit the dance hall round about midnight
A gin and juicin' he's a feeling fine
Come the morning all the sirens went up
Policeman said the joint was shut
All the brothers gettin' busted outside
Undercover officer readin' 'em their rights
One-way ticket boy you're prison bound
The night the lights in Dallas went down, so

How long we gonna wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now)
How long we gonna waste our time
Pullin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now)

She shakes the blues when she tries her luck
Makes a little bet hopes her horse comes up
Picking pockets for some easy money
'Cuz she blew the goddamn lot on the national lottery
Steals a paper just to check the front page
Headlines read the dance hall can't be saved
How can they open up an opera house
On the night the lights in Dallas went down, yeah so

How long we gonna wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now)
How long we gonna waste our time
Pullin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now)

Tweak-freak Tony on the 4 to 8
Special brown stain wrong time, wrong place
Colombian connections in the corridors of power
Mean the man on the money ain't ever goin' down
Lord lucky takes his lady to the magic flute
Little taste a boot and now he's bullet proof
Tony choose the underground radio
On the night the lights in Dallas went down so

How long we gonna wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now, I wanna know right now)
How long we gonna waste our time
Pullin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now, yes see you now)

So how long we gonna wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now)
How long we gonna waste our time
Pullin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
(Me ain't gonna inherit ****)
(I wanna know right now)
