Redhanded - Daniel Knox

It happened at the pleasureland arcade

Where fantasies and criminals are made

I shuffled in the pay my browsing fee

And loaded in booth number three

But through the hole what should I find

But a detective of the undercover kind

When you’re caught redhanded

You’re branded a liar

They look down on you

And send you to

The lake of fire

So I decided I’d leave town

Quietly, when no one was around

There came a voice from at my knee

My brother to say goodbye to me

I gave him a kiss

What do you think happened next?

The kiss was taken out of it’s context

When you’re caught redhanded

You’re branded a liar

They throw rocks at you

And send you to

The lake of fire

Picking garbage up off the street

With a dustpan and shackled feet

Oh — society you’ve got me wrong

It’s why I wrote this dreadful song

You pushed a good man to the edge

Why don’t you take a minute

Stop and think

Light a cigar

Pour a drink

While you’re busy I’ll be on my way

When you’re caught redhanded

You’re branded a liar

They’ll throw the book at you

And take you to

The lake of fire

(Instrumental)
