In the black of the night You find snake and his boys Sneakin' around Now don't get in this way 'Cause everyone knows He'll bring a good man down When the city lights Turn into the night He makes his own law He's the worst bad boy They ever saw k**ing heard for time Takin' a life for nickel or dime You can hear'em now A message clear and loud The snake is out And somewhere in his heart He'd like to turn around And make a brand new start He'll always be the same He doesn't know how to change And now they call him insane
