Текст песни: The Level + перевод

When I was on the level

My sneakers never touched the street

When I was on the level

My clothes were always fresh and clean

All the horny devils

Begging for a pitchforking

I ain’t on the level

And now they’re little angels and to hell with me

I got caught up in the thrill of it all

Grew tread on my feet

I was on the level

Then the level came level to me

When I was on the level

I carved my name in the stalls of the nicest places

Down at the pawn shop

We on a first name basis

Blood on my feathers

Been eating crow all my life

Don’t send no hen to do no man’s job

And don’t send no chicken into no cock fight

I wrote God a Dear John letter

Said this ain’t working out

Cos I was on the level

And you were nowhere to be found

When the level breaks

What sound will it make

Boom or pow?

When the level breaks

What sound will it make

Will it be silent or loud?

When the level breaks

The sound that it makes will let you know why

But you know how how how

When I was on the level

I was a lion among men

But when I look around this level

All I see are stray cats in a circus tent

Before I swallow this shotgun muzzle

And while I still have skin on my knees

I’m getting on the level

Before the level levels me
