Time Bomb — Rancid

Verse

If you wanna make a move then you better come in It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin Living and dying and the stories that are true Secret to a good life's knowing when you're through

Chorus

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah, the boy's a time bomb Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac, yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Verse

Well, he's back in the hole where they got him living like a rat But he's smarter than that, nine lives like a cat ?Ten years old? they take him to the youth authority home First thing you learn: you got to make it in this world alone

Chorus

Verse

Now he's gotten out, he's gotten free, he's gotta go, got a car He's 21 years old, he's runnin' numbers from the bar His pager's beepin', he's gettin' deep in Whatever he can move on in, you know that kid's a creepin' in

Chorus

...The boy's a time bomb

Solo

Verse

Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below his eye His mother cries, she knows that he is strong enough to die He's rollin' in the Cadillac, it's midnight, sunroof is down Three shots ring out, the hero's dead, the new king is crowned

Chorus

...Ooh...time bomb
