Mickey Paid For What Mickey Done lyrics

Mickey told the truth just one time Mickey told the truth on the firing line Mickey sang like a bird And told everything he heard Once he started They couldn’t shut him up 10 AM, and James was sound asleep When the cops burst in and dragged him to his feet Jimmy serves 25 to life He’s been raped once and beaten up twice His little brother’s case is on appeal By midnight, the news was on the vine By 2 AM, the contracts were all signed And by dawn, he was the victim of a hit-and-run Mickey paid for what Mickey done They found him face down by the side of the road His money untouched in the pocket of his coat And, as if to warn any young creep Thinkin’ bout squealing to cop a plea The mark of the Squealer was cut deep into his cheek By midnight, the news was on the vine By 2 AM, the contracts were all signed It took no time to identify the hit-and-run Mickey paid for what Mickey done Mickey paid for what Mickey done Mickey paid
