'Can't you see my hands are tied?'

lyrics

____________________________________
He's been found out
Now it's time to pay
They push him in the back of the car and it drives away

A glance in the mirror as it starts to rain
Charlie wants to speak, say his piece
Needs a chance to explain

But nothing comes out of his mouth
And he feels sick inside
Everyone knows how it feels when you're taken for a ride


Rocco gets mean
And then he gets tough
He says 'Charlie, where's my dough? You've kept me waiting long enough'

You can't get one over on me
I've got my pride
What do you expect me to do? Can't you see my hands are tied?

You can pay or we'll finish it now
We'll let you decide
You've gotta see that's how it is when you're taken for a ride


You can't get one over on me
I've got my pride
What do they expect me to do? Can't they see my hands are tied?

Drop the body at the side of the road
And they'll call it suicide
You've gotta see that's how it is when you're taken for a ride

Now we are four again, one in each corner. As odd and as valid as we ever were.
