Absconding from the Gates - MDC

Out of jail «without fail»

This is what they said

You must report, but my retort

«You bumped your fucking head»

Three years sobriety

On that I wouldn’t bet

You can’t say no to a P.O.

You never ever met

He wouldn’t think it’s great!

Out on tour, I’m here for sure

And I must restate:

I’m M.D.C. and A.F.G.

Absconding from the gate!

(I'm a whole year late)

My P.O.

said, «You can’t go!»

Just sit at home and rot.

But you know I’m a little slow

«I guess I just forgot.»

Supervision and condition

My P.O.'s an asshole

He won’t agree but M.D.C.'s

More important than parole!

Yeah he’ll get a kick

From sanctioning my time

But I say, as here I play

P.O.

it’s such a crime!

I’ll get a ten day sanction

Thirty at the most.

Don’t you worry and I won’t hurry

Playing coast to coast!
