Got nothin' to do with catchin' crooks, no

There's not a whole lot of shakin' from this old town
But they'll rock you silly and they'll make you sweat
Got nothin' to lose, let your feet get wet

But he'll always come back to what it was made him run
Well, they try to protect you from the things you read
