Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Midnight walkers
City slickers
Gunmen and maniacs
All will feature
On the freak show
And I can do nothing 'bout that, no
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
Serious-s-serious, s-serious infectious and dangerous
[Verse 2]
You can free the world
You can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
You can free the world
You can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
[Verse 3]
Serious-s-serious, s-serious infectious and dangerous
Friends and enemies, I find it's contagious
I was looking back to see if you will looking back at me to see me looking back at you
[Verse 4]
Lucky dippers
Crazy chancers
Seems to be moving fast
What happen to the niceties of my childhood days?
Well I can't do nothing 'bout that no
[Verse 5]
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
[Verse 6]
I was looking back to see if you were
I was looking, I was
I was looking back to see if you will looking back at me to see me looking back at you
[Verse 7]
You can free the world
You can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
You can free the world
You can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
[Verse 8]
Serious infectious and dangerous
Friends and enemies, I find it's contagious
And they're spreading through your system like a virus
Yes, the trouble in the end, it makes you anxious
I was looking back to see if you will looking back at me to see me looking back at you
I was looking back to see if you will looking back at me to see me looking back at you
[Verse 9]
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
[Verse 10]
You can free the world
You can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
You can free the world
You can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
[Verse 11]
Serious infectious and dangerous
Friends and enemies, I find it's contagious
And they're spreading through your system like a virus
Yes, the trouble in the end, it makes you anxious
I was looking back to see if you will looking back at me to see me looking back at you
I was looking back to see if you will looking back at me to see me looking back at you
