He was a gangster boy In his own back yard Always ran the rings Running temporary staff Meant to point the blame From his wicked tips Everyone lived in fear with their sealed lips Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars Cant take my golden stars
So he hatched his plan in the dead of night What a way to break in, not a soul in sight As the long bells rang, sirens ringing true Had a lucky escape from the boys in blue
Cant take his golden stars, cant take his golden stars Cant take his golden stars, cant take his golden stars Although he tried to get away (can't take his golden stars) The tests had matched his DNA (can't take his golden stars) Head office sent him to the roof (can't take his golden stars) No chance to falcify the truth
Every waking hour, hiding from my bed With the ankle chains fastened to my legs When the duty calls, sleeping makes no sense Under scrutiny forced to give evidence
Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars Although I testified the truth (can't take his golden stars) Cold stares were cast across the room (can't take his golden stars) Three years in jail ordered the judge (can't take his golden stars) How could he live without a grudge
Time past I feared of his revenge No olive branch to make ammends Three bountys rested on my head Then I'd be surely left for dead
Although I tried to get away Held down not smothering my face Steel toe caps bust into my ribs No chance for me to get my grip
