Bruce Springsteen’s latest track from his upcoming album Wrecking Ball starts innocently enough, until it gets to the pay-off line.

“You put on your coat, I’ll put on my hat,
You put out the dog, I’ll put out the cat
You put on your red dress for me tonight honey
We’re going on the town now, looking for easy money”

It’s a country-flavored ramble befitting Bonnie and Clyde, complete with hand claps, fiddle and an optimistic backing choir. But be careful … the narrator’s packing heat.
