Take The Rap Lyrics - Nazareth

You were lookin' at your mother 

So you went and told your father 

Daddy don't say nothin' he's got plenty in his past 

Changed your way of thinkin' 

So you started drinkin' 

And you got arrested for drivin' blind 

Take the rap, take the rap 

It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap 

It was lined up on the mirror 

And you just started shavin' 

Didn't know what you were smokin' 

Cigarette came from a friend 

Judge said you're delinquent 

You don't want to think it 

So you put your head down, started servin' time 

Take the rap, take the rap 

It's gonna break your back, take the rap 

Tried to talkbut I got nothin' to prove--why you want to? 

Tried to run they took away my shoes--why you want to? 

Why you want me to take the rap? 

Take the rap, take the rap 

It's gonna break your back, take the rap 

Well your damned if iron bars'll 

Keep you rottin' in a prison 

Hell is lookin' better 'cause you'll 

Never get to heaven 

See your chance and take it 

Sure you're gonna make it 

You're prepared to take it 'cause you're never gonna... 

Take the rap, take the rap 

It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap
