Couldn't Get Arrested

Mike Rutherford

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

They are all protesting, you're luckier than the rest



You were the last one, to find out what you want

While all your friends went, chasing their careers

They called you crazy and said you'd never make it

They all moved out to their suburbia that year

Life is so good, no one else could see it

It never stopped you from hawkin' it around



You knew you had it, long before they found it

Everywhere the doors slammed, everybody turned you down (but)



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

They are all protesting, it's only luck at best



Now fame has hit you, old friends keep on calling

And all the slamming doors are taken off the hinge

They all remember the encouragement they gave you

You have to turn each time and try to hide a grin

It's good to be there, they said you'd never make it

That satisfaction's feeling good to know



You knew you had it, long before they found it

Everywhere the doors slammed, everybody turned you down (but)



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

They are all protesting, you're luckier than the rest



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

Couldn't get arrested

You're luckier than the rest

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

Couldn't get arrested

You're luckier than the rest

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

Couldn't get arrested

You
