[Verse 1]
Uptown, downtown
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown

[Chorus]
You're five years dead
(Five years dead)

[Verse 2]
Sexy Sue from Hong Kong
Asked around, right and wrong
Outta town, change your name
Or you get five years with a ball and chain

[Chorus]
You're five years dead
(Five years dead)
Five years dead
(Five years dead)

[Post-Chorus]
Five years dead
(Five years dead)
(Five years dead)
(Five years dead)
[Verse 3]
Your life's on a steady tilt
I stand around and watch you wilt
Lose or win, never mattered
Mattered to you
They always said you'd fall apart
I took the bet but I missed the mark
The kid was bad
Bad from the start

[Verse 4]
Left, right or up and down
Same old runaround
Neighborhood professional
Your ass is runnin' into the ground

[Chorus]
You're five years dead
(Five years dead)
Five years dead
(Five years dead)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
Uptown, downtown
Haven't seen your face around
Paper said you shot a man
Trigger happy punk down in Chinatown
[Chorus]
You're five years dead
(Five years dead)
Five years dead
(Five years dead)

[Post-Chorus]
Five years dead
(Five years dead)
(Five years dead)
(Five years dead)
Five years dead
