Gangsters

Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue

Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
You said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me

You can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time

Don't call me Scarface!
Can't interrupt while I'm talking (don't interrupt me while I'm talking)
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
That catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star

Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dare dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time
Don't call me Scarface!
I bet you Bernie Rhodes
Gangster
Mafia!
Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue, whoa

C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Whoa
Oh, you mean, don't copy Scarface
Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue, whoa

Somebody
Summon me and I'll answer ya, I'll answer quickly
Flattery, only you's a woman, yay
Summon me and I'll answer ya, I'll answer quickly
Bernie Rhodes, Bernie Rhodes, Bernie
Don't call me Scarface!

Gangster fi truth
Gangster fi truth

Thank you
