Don't Take Me Alive Lyrics - The Royal Scam - Steely Dan

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 

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 

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
