The Rebel Black Dot Interrupters Song o' the Day

The Interrupters, "She Got Arrested" from Say It Out Loud (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary:
"She met Luck a year ago last Christmas,
He drove a truck in town on business,
She fell in love or so she thought,
Cause Maryland was cold and Nevada was hot,
So she moved alone to the City of Sin,
Then got a place with him, put her chips all in,
But it got dark, he was a stranger,
Put his hands on her in anger.

"And she got arrested for shooting down her man,
U.S. Marshals caught her outside of Spokane,
She said, 'I'd do it again,
Do it again,
Do it again,
Yeah, I'd do it again.
I'd do it again,
Do it again,
Do it again,
Yeah, I'd do it again.'

"They brought her down to the police station,
In an eight-foot room for interrogation,
Her fingerprints on the murder weapon,
All they needed was a taped confession,
And she was bloody, been beaten for years,
And her demeaner was cold so she cried no tears,
But this time it was his blood on her,
She wore it like a badge of honor.

"And she got arrested…

"Flight risk, drove a thousand miles,
In a cell for a year on trial,
No regrets for the things she done:
He lost the fight, she won.
And told her story, jury heard it,
Deliberating for a verdict,
She's up for murder in the first degree,
Because she refused to plead insanity!

"And she got arrested…"
