Long Gone Songtext

They'll be long, long gone
they'll be long, long gone
deep in the system
somewhere in the sun

You see I've worked this beat for ten years gone
catching petty thieves for keepin on
the crisis came, and it taught my son
for better growth, steal from everyone
When our capitol was set alight
he and his friends, went out one night
so he was shown who were the heavy men
he got two years for stealing Evian
now he's gone

now he's long, long gone
now he's long, long gone
into a system
forever on the run
Him locked away, his mother withdrew
and my job became our only lifeline
when they cut my hours to save their asses
I tried to stay professional
But this became personal

I've looked for clues, I've followed leads
they all stop dead at LTD
they played it cool, as if it wasn't wrong
they bought the blame, they sold it on
they bought the blame, they sold it on
they bought the blame, and then they sold it on
now they're gone

Now they're long, long gone
now they're long, long gone
now they're long, long gone
gone into thin air
seems somebody up there
pulled the perfect job
