Alice Cooper - Crazy Little Child


Crazy little child 
Never got to see 
All the pretty things in life 
Had him put away 
Nothing they could say 
Could ever make the pieces fit 

Aw well, Daddy-o was rich 
Mama was a bitch 
Living wasn't easy in between 
Behind his silent scream 
Jackson in his teens 
Was planning his escape 

He was a crazy little child 
New Orleans Alley playground 
Grimy faced he watched the hookers cry 
Winos were his friends 
And when he talked to them 
They said, "Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by" 

Depression settin' in 
Desp'rate, cool and quick 
Jackson learned the ropes out on the street 
Little candy stores 
Just pickin' locks and doors 
Was practice for a two bit killer little thief 

So Jackson went to Ritz 
And everyone was hip 
Ritz ran all the rackets there in town 
If you need another boy 
A trigger or a blade 
Well, I'm the slickest cat around 

Yeah, Ritz gave him the eye 
Once over, then he smiled 
"Yeah, I've got something here in mind 
If you meet me here at two 
I think you'll like the view 
Of that long green when you crack that safe tonight" 

He was a crazy little child 
New Orleans Alley playground 
And grimy faced 
He watched the hookers cry, whoo 
Winos were his friends 
And when he talked to them 
They said, "Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by,"
That's right 

Well, I'll wait for you outside 
And I'll be your ears and your eyes 
And boy, you just slip in there and bring out all that loot 
But Ritz was taken by surprise 
Couple of unspecting guys 
And they left poor Jackson inside 

Questions there were few 
In fact there were none 
When those Sheriff's bullets start to fly 
Lay dying on the floor 
With a smokin' forty four 
He said, "I must admit the winos were right" 

Crazy little child 
Never got to see 
All the pretty things in life 
We buried him today 
Nothing we could say 
Could ever make the pieces fit 

Yeah, I must admit the winos were right 
Oh, I must admit the winos were right 
His last words were..
I must admit the winos were right
