Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you’re out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything

I’m a bookkeeper’s son
I don’t want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don’t take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don’t take me alive

Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I’ve done
I know all at once who I am

I’m a bookkeeper’s son
I don’t want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don’t take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don’t take me alive

Thank you for the post. I’m a huge Steely Dan fan.

Saw them in concert once, it was a joke. The lead singer was a fill in substitute and sounded nothing like the bands’ songs. Steely Dan is a studio group, that is what they do best.

Not me. I detest their music.

Jeff Baxter is my favorite. Love his work on missile defense.

Never did get their schtick. Someone once said there was an element of comedy in their songs.

They’re pretty good.

I saw them in CT a long time ago, and they came to a local venue last year.

Donald Fagen told me he didn’t want any unvaccinated people at his show, so he can eat sh½t.

I’ve seen them twice. Two outstanding concerts.

Saw them on Long Island with the Eagles in Oct. Was never a fan but they did a good show, but with a very good group of back up musicians. But Eagles were the show that night.

Pretty much my absolute fav band, and I say that feeling unfaithful to the Beatles who I also love. I am happy to learn they did too.

Saw them a few years back and they were spot on. Great concert. Love their songs. Even Fagan knew work.

What’s Steely Dan mean?

Where’d they get that name?

Well thank you for your service and this is nice to say on just about Veterans Day as well.

I'm also a huge fan - but I wish my classic rock station would stop playing the same two Steely Dan songs over and over and... it's either "Reelin in the Years" or "Ricky Don't Lose that Number."

I'd rather hear "Dr. Wu," "Peg," "Black Friday," "Josie," "Aja," or my personal favorite "“Bodhisattva."

I remember getting this as a birthday gift many many years ago...

It was the name for a condom in the novel "Naked Lunch" by William Burroughs.

“King Of The World” is my favorite.
