lyrics

All I wanted was to be a gangster, now I work in a library,
All I wanted was to break heads but somehow I just drifted into kindness, gentleness,
I couldn't want it less,
No wonder I am so depressed,

All I wanted was to cut throats but I just wasn't cut out for it,
Hands too clumsy, heart too soft, I'm good for nothing much except kindness, gentleness, indecisivenss,
While murders go on all around I must keep these books in the right order,
I must file them all from A to Z,
It's just that it's such a disappointment,
It's dull and no one ends up dead,
All I wanted was to be a gangster
