Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles

Time, time, time See what's become of me As I looked around At my possibilities I was so hard to please Look around Leaves are brown And the sky Is a hazy shade of winter A hazy shade of winter Seasons change with the scenery Weaving time in a tapestry Won't you stop and remember me Look around Leaves are brown And the sky Is a hazy shade of winter A hazy shade of winter! Look around Leaves are brown And the sky Is a hazy shade of winter A hazy shade of winter And the sky Is a hazy shade of winter! Is a hazy shade of winter

Jeffrey Dahmer enters the room without cuffs How the hell do we set stuffed In the back of a cell on a isle, ain't it wild? What's criminal? Power to the people and the beats Only if I had one more Time to kick the rhythm that keep rippin' down the door So the real criminals get exposed behind the clothes Doors and the suits that make and break the law Lookin' for my own 'cause I had enough bull I can't understand it, must been the crooked way they planned it Police 'posed to keep the peace But I can't trust 'em, so I keep my piece Loaded and cocked 'cause I don't miss the block Talk about the ones who don't get chained to the rock Those who got away with the dirt and the grime While we go away for the neighborhood crime Never liked what I saw in the law Indiana trees hanging us instead of leaves (yeah!)
