I live the safe life, the only one I got With a neat little system and room at the top I don't need to hunt to get food for thought Can't make no commitment in case I get hurt I live the safe life Safe, safe times rolling at you Most of my associates got their heads screwed on Know where they're happening and nowhere they're from Whenever they see me they say 'good ole dong' Then ask how I am, I say the beat goes on Ah, the safe life Safe, safe times rolling at you When the blind boy plays 'Cause he's safe here in the garden What is it makes him stay When he don't crave no bargain anymore Ah-ah, do, do-do, do, do Ah-ah, do, do-do, do Safe, safe times Ain't nothing special the place called home Somewhere to get back to when I'm international I've got the directions, I don't need a map For a couple of clods where I don't get attacked I lived a safe time, yeah Safe, safe times (Yeah, yeah, yeah...) Yeah, the safe life (Yeah, yeah, yeah...) Straight, straight times Rolling at you again Oh, look at her She loves him, he hates her But I love the grey Love the rain in the air
