Dont Take Me Alive Lyrics by Steely Dan

Dont Take Me Alive Lyrics

    Agents of the law
    Luckless pedestrian
    I know you're out there
    With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
    Saying all is forgiven
    Mad Dog surrender
    How can I answer
    A man of my mind can do anything
    CHORUS:
    I'm a bookkeeper's son
    I don't want to shoot no one
    Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
    Don't take me alive
    Got a case of dynamite
    I could hold out here all night
    Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
    Don't take me alive

    Can you hear the evil crowd
    The lies and the laughter
    I hear my inside
    The mechanized hum of another world
    Where no sun is shining
    No red light flashing
    Here in this darkness
    I know what I've done
    I know all at once who I am

    CHORUS
