Check-check, check-check-check, check, ohhh

One day, I was walking my dog on a nearby trail like I usually do. It was a cold Friday afternoon; and I noticed the same man that I'd seen over an hour ago was behind me about three-hundred yards on the trail. And I started to wonder, "Who is this guy? What does he want? Is he following me?". And, uh, about when I decided it would be a good idea to turn around and leave, that's when my dog decided he wanted to take a shit

There's a bad man loose in the neighbourhood
And he wants to take your life (Your life)
There's a bad man running 'round the neighbourhood
Holding a kitchen knife (Kitchen knife)
Is it fair? (Is it fair) Or is it right?
No, it's not, but he does it anyway (Anyway)
There's a bad man running 'round the neighbourhood
He could kill you any day (Any day, any day)

After I bent over to pick up the dog shit, I stood up straight to look for the man and he was gone, I couldn't see him anywhere. So I went back home and did the rest of my work for the day and sat down on my couch to watch TV and eat dinner for the evening. I flipped through the channels a little and figured I'd settle on the news, it had been a while since I'd caught up with any current events. The room went cold. I can hear my heartbeat. Why is my dog on TV?

There's a bad man running 'round the neighbourhood
You can see him on the news (The news)
There's a bad man running 'round the neighbourhood
And he'll make you pay your dues (Your dues)
Is it wrong? (Yes, it's wrong) Is it right? (Not at all)
What has he done with your friend? (Oh no)
Is it wrong, to put it in a song? (Not at all)
I can see him through my window, oh, oh no
