Richie Dagger's Crime

(album: (MIA): The Complete Anthology - 1993)

I'm Richie Dagger
I can stomp and swagger
I can take on all your heroes
I'm Richie Dagger
I'm young and I'm haggard
The boy that nobody owns
He sits in his corner like a child despised
A crazy sort of cast comes over his eyes
That's Richie Dagger's crime

He's the sort of boy who was never much loved
His idea of fun was society's grudge
That's Richie Dagger's crime

His life was a mess
And his friends weren't quite the best
But he was satisfied
That's Richie Dagger's crime
Suck me in and spit me out
Devour me in haste

I'm Richie Dagger
I can stomp and swagger
I can take on all your heroes
I'm Richie Dagger
I'm young and I'm haggard
The boy that nobody owns
He sits in his corner like a child despised
A crazy sort of cast comes over his eyes
That's Richie Dagger's crime

He could set your mind ablaze
With sparkling eyes and visionary case
He stood like the remnant of an outbreak past
Wore something in his ear and
Boy was he sass

I'm Richie Dagger
I can stomp and swagger
I can take on all your heroes
I'm Richie Dagger
I'm young and I'm haggard
The boy that nobody owns
He sits in his corner like a child despised
A crazy sort of cast comes over his eyes
That's Richie Dagger's crime
