On the one they'll catch ya
|
If you skirt disaster
|
On the day they told her
|
But she want stay stay
|
|
On the one they saw ya
|
Witnesses of goya
|
Elected to serve ya
|
Til your dying day
|
|
I hope you don't get what you're after
|
I hope you don't get what you're after
|
|
To whom it may concern
|
I'm writing on behalf of brother
|
Twice burned
|
Do you be reachin your time
|
Just a product of your mind
|
|
But when you continue let loose on the running man
|
You send him crashing to edge of the pavement
|
You're doing something you don't quite understand
|
Makin' like he's a lesser man
|
So be gone be gone to plea
|
You got your vehicle to ride on
|
Off to the comissioner as fast as you can
|
With your smokin' gun in hand
|
|
In your gunship gunship
|
Gunship politico
|
I hope you don't get what you're after
|
In your gunship gunship
|
Gunship politico
|
I hope you don't get what you're after
|
In your gunship gunship
|
Gunship gunship
|
In your gunship gunship
|
Gunship gunship
|
|
Six men on their knees
|
Eyes shinin' in the highbeams of the search light
|
Cop's shadows on the wall several stories tall
|
Instilling whoa such a fright
|
One's kicked in the gut
|
He's all cut up by the corner cop
|
One stands in defense in a broken sentence
|
Asks not to be shot
|
If you please
|
You men of authority
|
We do not speak your language see
|
Please act accordingly
|
|
He was't beggin
|
He was just keepin time with his cup
|
You go on and believe that
|
You keep your eyes staight up
|
I was just lookin
|
I had no intention to touch
|
But i know when i'm not welcome
|
So i thank you very much
|
|
See a see a
|
See the woman there demonstrate
|
See a see a
|
See them know but they will not say
|
See a see a
|
See them set the trial date
|
See a see a
|
The confidence on the DA's face
|
|
Watch out for them politicos
|
Watch out for them politicos
|
Watch out for them politicos
|
Watch out for them politicos
|
|
Don't mess mess with the down downpresser way
|
They got it down pat they got it down to a tee
|
Noone gets thru the lockstep jaw
|
You ain't guilty but you did get caught
|
So for lack of a better suspect we nominate you
|
To ride this one out to see this one thru
|
See a see a see a see a
|
Arms thrown up in an ever fearful protest
|
As the firing squad would ever think to notice
|
As if he could summon the likes of moses
|
To put the blood back in his friends veins
|
|
And if you one step faster
|
You can skirt disaster
|
But if its not you it'll be the next guy
|
Who's the wrong color at the wrong time
|
|
Another day's over and the decision still stands
|
His honor in his chambers still washin' his hands
|
You know he been fiddlin in his room all day
|
Just tryin to wash all his conscience away
|
|
Noone's askin for hangman's tree
|
They just looking for something true to believe
|
See a see a
|
See them know but they will not say
|
|
He wasn't beggin
|
He was just keepin time with him cup
|
He wasn't beggin
|
He was just keepin time with him cup
|
He wasn't beggin
|
He was just keepin time with him cup
|
You go on and believe that
|
And you keep your ash tray up
|
I was just lookin
|
I had no intention to touch
|
But i know when i'm not welcome
|
So i thank you very much
|
