Crush Luther – Jody Looks Out For Himself lyrics

Joker's had a breakdown
Shot in the back while he's trying to scale the wall
The mac's got the bag now
Over the bricks, hits the ground from the fall
And then a blade from the far left
Shaved down the mac from a six to a foot less
And from the alley way Jody makes the fly-by
Picks up the bag and his blade, fixes his bow tie

You got to look out for yourself
And if you're going to kill then you can't tell
And if you're going to stick then you can't bail
And if you got to lie like you never did

Joker's in the jail yard
Pushes a broom under watch from the two guards
And the mac wears his silver badge a little crooked
He shakes the other guards hand like he never shook it
Back in the cell he said "I'll take the bag right?
Out to the yard and I'll drop it on the far side
Distract the guard then you gun it when I scratch my head
Over the bricks then we split it like we all said"

You got to look out for yourself
And if you're going to kill then you can't tell
And if you're going to stick then you can't bail
And if you got to lie like you never did

Jody does the books for the prison
And he gives the mac a cut for the money missing
If the mac can get the loot over the side wall
So the mac cuts in the Joker so he keeps his job
But the crook and the prison guard have the same plan:
"I can double my take if I lose the other man, and then I'll get rid of Jody and I'll triple my take"
But Jody had the better plan and the bigger blade

Look out for yourself
Look out for yourself
Look out for yourself
Look out for yourself
