Lyrics
Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad Dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything
CHORUS:
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive

Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am

CHORUS

[ThaaWhiteShadow]

Singer looks like Eddie Vedder

[BabbleonSistas]

I was a little worried when he played through the first chord, but the rest was the balls!

[kell1reilly2]

wow, that opening guitar scream was AWESOME!!!

[info267]

Sounded awesome!! What a voice on this guy! I didn't know Russell Crowe could sing so well. His voice would do well singing "Orleans" songs, Still the one, Dance with me off the top of my head.

[bellyup123]

Great singing and guitar. Not easy to pull this one off.

[danglywang]

Pretty damn good, and you guys have good taste in music, good to see some young cats realizing that old "Dan" is great and can't be touched by todays bands. Good geetar and nice pipes by singer . Thumbs up!!
