The Last Gang in Town

Look at all the creeps try to act so hip
I can lean against this wall and pull all their chicks
I ride a Rolls Royce ‘cos it’s good for my voice
I take the MRT
… when I got no choice.

Come a little closer I won’t hurt
I got X-Ray eyes I can see through your skirt
You’re a dirty little girl and I like a bit of dirt
But I hope you don’t mind
… take a bath first.

I’m the Exiled Emperor of Bedok Reservoir
I’ve been putting in the ‘Sin’ in Singapore
I will not step down, I will stand my ground
I’m still hanging around
… with the Last Gang in Town.

by Damien Sin
from Saints, Sinners and Singaporeans (1998)
