lyrics

I’ve been keeping a secret
When I go out to work
I’ve been hiding in the park
I’m too ashamed now
to stand in front of you
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do

I wish that I could give you all the things you wanted
Fill my crippled hand with money
But I can’t work
So I’ve been hiding in the park

I was a bricklayer, I was a breadwinner
I kept my children fed, I could perform in bed
I stuck my hand down in the machine’s mouth
I got my tendons cut now I’m no use to anyone
So I’ve been hiding in the park

So it’s time to make it different I’ve got me a plan
Me and a gun and a securicor van
And I’m not just gonna be another face in the crowd
Me and a gun are gonna make my girl proud
I’ll say I checked my lucky numbers and had a big win
And my kids’ll never have to go hungry again
And I’ll buy diamond ring and I’ll take you down the aisle
And I’d do it all again just to see you smile

I’ve done my time now
A free man again
I walk the streets and I sleep in the rain
But I keep my head high
the money that I get
from my crippled hand keeps my children fed

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury please understand
I was not born with a weapon in my hand
and though you may think of me as half a man
Still I have what you do not have…

And if I wanna draw a swoosh on my cap then I can
Me and a gun and a securicor van
(I’ve been hiding in the park)
