First There Was

I came into town

I was looking for a job

I couldn't find nothin'

So I started looking for someone to rob

I took my ski mask

And I put it over my face

Walked into the feed store

And I shot everyone in the place

First there was a funeral and

Then there was a trial

Hung me in a courtyard and

They let me hang up there a while

Let me hang up there a while

I bought a new shirt

So soft to touch

And a new pair of beetle boots

They didn't cost me too much

I went to the movies

I couldn't get a date

Women on the silver screen

Are the only ones to which I can relate

First there was a funeral and

Then there was a trial

Hung me in a courtyard and

They let me hang up there a while

Let me hang up there a while

My eyes got heavy

I fell asleep

Usher came by and said

"Get outta here you creep"

I pulled out my .38

I blew him away

If you disrespect me

That's the price you'll pay

First there was a funeral and

Then there was a trial

Hung me in a courtyard and

They let me hang up there a while

Let me hang up there a while
