Around the Block Page #2

we're leaving right now

And you can march with me

or you can move aside

Whether you a true doogie

or you just cruising by

Forget the do or die

Just loosen your suit

and tie

They too concerned

with being cool

I'm concerned

with losing mine

Hear the stomach rumble,

it's running on empty

But still I break bread

with those

Who trespass against me

'Cause even angels tell lies

on their bad days

Tryin' to navigate a world

that's man made

But the forementioned

characters

Who inhabit

my shoulder blades

And both claiming

they know the way

F***ing

with my poker face

But I'm feeling like a pimp

so I'm gonna brush 'em off

Look 'em in the eyes

when I tell 'em straight

Welcome overstayed,

truth be told

Truth be told

Let no man be afraid

to speak his part

But let it come from

the heart and the soul

An alibi's just a lie

in the absence of proof

Above all

let the truth be told

Hi, how are you doing?

How are youse?

All right.

Where's your mum?

She's just signing in.

She'll be here in a sec.

Hey, what happened to you?

Cops were down the Block

again last night.

You all right?

Yeah.

That's good.

Big game on the weekend.

Paper reckons Chicko might get

a run with the Bunnies.

Listen.

I know who screwed us.

What?

You know how the coppers

knew about that hotel room?

They knew about

the whole bloody job,

Thanks to Barry Griffen.

You serious?

Your Uncle Charlie'd still be

here if it wasn't for him.

That dog!

Hey, keep it down.

Right?

That was his cousin

down at the Block.

Who?

Tamika's mate.

We'll f***in'

show them!

Settle down, Steven.

Right?

Now you don't do a f***in'

thing unless I say so.

Do you understand?

Do you understand me?

How's your mum been?

She's all right.

Just give us a bit of time

when she gets here, eh?

That sneaky f***.

How did he think he was gonna

get away with it?

Is he f***in' stupid

or what?

Oi, shithead!

Did you ever do Hamlet

at school?

What the f***

has Hamlet got to do

With that prick

who killed Uncle Charlie?

CHRISSIE:

It's 20 years, Jack.

Fifteen years if you stay

out of trouble.

If you stay out of trouble.

So what are you saying?

How are we supposed

to survive?

Steve's doing all right.

Liam's a smart kid.

He can get a job.

No. He's

finishing high school.

I don't know how long

I can keep doing this.

You?

Hey.

I'm the one who's f***ing

stuck in here, okay?

I can't see my boys,

I can't see my family,

I can't see...

Your girlfriend.

That's it, is it?

You listen to me.

Right?

Don't you f***ing turn

those boys against me.

I mean it.

Come on.

And don't say

anything to Mum.

CHRIS:
Here's to our

new regional manager.

Thank you.
