He a hit the dance around about midnight
Gin and juice and he's a feelin' fine
A come the morning all the sounds went up
Police man said the joint was shut

All the brothers gettin' busted outside
Undercover officers readin' them their rights
One way ticket boy you prison bound
The night the lights in Dallas went down, so

How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
No we ain't gettin' ****
I want to know right now

How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
No we ain't gettin' ****
I want to know right now

She shakes the blues off then she tries her luck
Makes a little bet and hopes her horse comes up
Pickin' pockets for some easy money
Cause she blew the goddamn lot on the national lottery

Steals a paper sh'check the front page
Headlines made that 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 gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill?
No we ain't gettin' ****
I want to know right now

How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
No we ain't gettin' ****
I want to know right now, tell me now

Tweek freak Tony on the four two eight
Special branch sting right time wrong place
Columbian connections in the corridors of power
Mean the man on the money ain't never goin' down

Lord Lucky takes his lady to the magic flute
Little taste or two now he's bullet proof
Tony tunes the underground radio
On the night the lights in Dallas went down, so

How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
No we ain't gettin' ****
I want to know right now
I want to know right now

How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
No we ain't gettin' ****
I want to know right now, yeah see now

Yeah, so how long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
No we ain't gettin' ****
I wanna know right now

How long we gonna waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
No we ain't gettin' ****
I wanna know right now
