Songtexte

Driving across the Illinois plain
Hard times in thirty-three
John's got a bottle and he's feeling no pain
Just the usual low down misery
John, don't you think it's a crying shame
A man lose a farm and he ain't to blame
They're suckers, says John Dillinger
Another bleak November day
Can't decide to rain or snow
Money's in the bags and they're getting away
Heading north to Chicago
Big gray buildings, little gray men
Have a little fun, then we'll do it again
All right, says John Dillinger
Luther's bleeding from a hole in his side
Don't believe he'll make it through
Ruby cradles his head and she starts to cry
Oh God, what can I do
I've always been a gangster's girl
Don't die and leave me alone in the world
Shut up, says John Dillinger
Across his lap, a submachine
Under his arm, a thirty-eight
He's feeling alive and he's feeling mean
His yellow eyes are filled with hate
The papers say he's a Robin Hood
Mistreated and misunderstood
Fuck 'em, says John Dillinger
All right, says John Dillinger
