El Síndrome de Estocolmo

When they brought me to this town jail
I gotta admit I was scared
But now I see I was wrong
They treat me better here than anywhere else
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It's the Stockholm syndrome.

They put me to sleep with chloroform
They took me in a Volvo
They've asked for a huge ransom
But I'm okay even if they kill me later
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It's the Stockholm syndrome.

I play dumb
'Cause I'm from there
I make the headlines
And they cry for me
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It ain't so bad down here
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It ain't so bad down here
Don't ask for pears from an elm tree
It's the Stockholm syndrome.
