[Verse]
Bring your own lampshade - somewhere there s a party.
Here, it s never-ending; can t remember when it started.
Pass around the lampshade. There ll be plenty enough room in jail.
[Chorus]
If being wrong s a crime, I m serving forever -
if being strong s your kind, then I need help here with this feather.
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
at the swingin party down the line.
[Verse]
Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition,
quittin school and goin to work and never goin fishing...
water all around; I never learned how to swim, now.
[Chorus]
If being wrong s a crime, I m serving forever -
if being strong s your kind, then I need help here with this feather.
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
at the swingin party down the line...
at the swingin party down the line.
[Verse]
Bring your own lampshade - somewhere there s a party.
Here, it s never-ending; can t remember when it started.
Pass around the lampshade. There ll be plenty enough room in jail.
[Chorus]
If being wrong s a crime, I m serving forever -
if being strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather.
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
at the swingin party down the line...
at the swingin party down the line.
