Busted
Hot Action Cop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody knows troubles easy to get
Burnt out dealer to the teachers pet
For some fun there is always sex
Hidin' in the corner like a shy T-Rex

Around your home are the ways and means
Guns hidin' under porno magazines
There's moves and deals
Cheap thrills and dreams
Murder is a game on a PC screen

Little baby lost to the world outside
Trying not to let anyone inside
Learnin' what you get from a TV set
And it makes you crazy
Hide it all away on a bathroom shelve
Busted in the mirror by an image of yourself
Beautiful as this whole world can be
You just don't see it

And it makes me crazy

This chicks tryin' to pay for things
Swinging from a pole with a nipple ring
This dudes tryin' to ease the sting
Tyin' off his arm with a nylon string
Mirror mirror can you tell
If they're knealin' in confession or if they just fell
The mirror looks back and knows damn well
It's really hard livin' when you're livin' with yourself

Little baby lost to the world outside
Tryin' not to let anyone inside
Only love you gets from a TV set
And it makes you crazy
Hide it all away on a bathroom shelve
Busted in the mirror by an image of yourself
Talking in your head
Lay awake in bed
In the twilight screaming
And it makes me crazy
It drives me crazy yeah yeah
It makes me crazy

Everybody lost in the world outside
Try to fill the hole that will grow til the day that you die
Never knew it would be this way
Livin' in a place that you never want to face
Night and day
Never knew it would be this way
And it drives me crazy

Everbody lost in the world outside
Losin' all control of the road they drive
The only love you gets from the tv set
And it makes you crazy
Hide it all away on a closet self
Busted in the mirror by an image of yourself
Talkin' in your head




Lay awake in bed
And it makes me crazy
