Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Midnight rockers, city slickers
Gunmen and maniacs
All will feature on the freak show
And I can't do nothin' 'bout that, no
[Verse 2]
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
[Verse 3]
Serious, infectious and danger
Serious and
Serious, infectious and dangerous
[Verse 4]
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 5]
Serious, serious, serious, infectious and dangerous
Friends and enemies, I find it's contagious
I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back at me
To see me lookin' back at you
[Verse 6]
Lucky dippers, crazy chancers
Seems to be movin' fast
What happened to the niceties of my childhood days?
Well, I can't do nothin' 'bout that, no
[Verse 7]
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
[Verse 8]
I was looking back to see if you were
I was looking, I was
I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
To see me looking back at you
[Verse 9]
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 10]
Serious, infectious and dangerous
Friends and enemies, I find it's contagious
And they're spreadin' through your system like a virus
Yes, the trouble in the end, it makes you anxious
I was lookin', I was
I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back at me
To see me lookin' back at you
I was, I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back at me
To see me lookin' back at you
[Verse 11]
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
[Verse 12]
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
