i kept a memory back from my early years a boat out to cyprus with the scottish fusiliers i was two years old i was barely alive already cruising bout with the devil and a 45 i hear you ve been straying over this side of town talking it up walking your mouth around but it s really not ok that you do like you do the devil s 45 is gonna wait for you you you you you you are heading for a beatdown are you riding shotgun on the stage of broken dreams ain t it funny how the ego can take you to extremes and with the cards you hold i m aurally not surprised choose between the devil and a 45 keep your false pretenses keep your fancy clothes keep your airs and graces since i won t be needing those since i was two years old i was learning to survive keep on the right side of a 45
