Snitches Get B*TCHES (1972)

Obscure funk single by Robert Plant and Fed Zeppelin. Robert wrote this song about the newly established United States Federal Witness Protection Program in 1971. The program was still new and the official rules of the government program were vague at best. Robert recalls an account of one of his clients making a strange deal with the feds to snitch in exchange for more b*tches.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Its easy these days to get paid pimping
Making money off all these men simping
One got caught by the cops now he's snitching
Talking to feds to get some b*tches

[Chorus]
This crazy world is all upside down
Snitches get b*tches (snitches get b*tches)
Until the prison lets me out
Snitches get b*tches (snitches get b*tches)

[Verse 2]
Gonna turn me in for a date with Kim
Help the feds trace me to get with Stacey
You're gonna tell on me for Melanie
And get me busted for a felony

[Bridge]
The feds got b*tches that are perfect tens
These hookers will pretend to be your friend
They got ass that snitches just can't resist
The government are the ultimate pimps

[Verse 3]
Stabbed me in the back for a piece of ass
Gonna turn stooly to get with Julie
Or drop a dime for that sweet Caroline
Now I'm doing time for sexual crime
