Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna play aroun' no more
I see that black cross painted on your door
We was good friends for a long, long time
But baby you got hungry for a life of crime
Get the message now?

The car you drive is painted red and grey
But if you ask me to get in
Well I'll jst run away
We was good friends for a long, long time
But baby you got hungry for a life of crime

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Weirdos's song "Life of Crime" seem to be about a friendship that has turned sour due to one friend's desire for a life of crime. The singer in the song wants to distance themselves from their friend, who they used to be close with for a long time, but now their friend's actions make it difficult to stay close. The black cross painted on the friend's door is perhaps a symbol of danger or warning, indicating that the friend has become involved in something dangerous or illegal.


The singer in the song appears to be cautious and aware of the danger their friend poses. The friend's car being painted red and grey may be another symbol, perhaps representing the friend's reckless nature or the danger that surrounds them. The singer is hesitant to get in the car, which may be a metaphor for getting involved in their friend's dangerous lifestyle. Although they were once good friends, the friend's desire for a life of crime has driven a wedge between them.


Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting involved in a life of crime, and how it can harm even the closest of friendships. It suggests that there may be no way to save a friend who has become consumed by this lifestyle, and the best choice may be to distance oneself before getting caught in the crossfire.
