"The Long Con" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

I'm a targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
I'm a targeted individual
I got caught up in a long con
Four judges screwed me over
Backed me up against the wall

Targeted individual
Have to get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
I'm a targeted individual
Got to get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
Well I got to make it personal
See who's waiting in the wings

I'm a targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Four judges screwed me over
Backed me up against the wall

Think I don't have a voice
Wanna just get me to go away and give up the fight
Well I'm gonna keep on fighting
'Cause I'm fighting for my life

Targeted individual
Get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
I'm a targeted individual
Got to get to the bottom of who's pulling the strings
I gotta make it personal
See who's waiting in the wings

Think I don't have a voice
Want me to just go away and give up
Want me to give up the fight
But I'm gonna keep on fighting for my life

Goes beyond money, jealousy and fame
See who's behind the curtain, behind the name
Goes beyond money, jealousy and fame
I got to see who's behind the curtain
See who's behind the name

Targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Targeted individual
Got caught up in a long con
Then four judges screwed me over
Backed me up against the wall

Tried to erase me as a father
Tried to get me to go away et al
Tried to erase me as a father
Tried to get me to go away et al
Expect me to still pay through the nose
Think I don't even have a choice

Think I don't have a voice
Want me to go away and give up this fight
But I'm gonna keep on fighting
'Cause I'm fighting for my life

If it goes beyond money, jealousy and fame
If it goes beyond the money and the jealousy and fame
Got to see who's behind the curtain
Got to give me some names
