|
To whom it may concern |
|
I'm writing of behalf of a brother twiced burned |
|
Well, you'll be reaching your time |
|
Just a product of your mind |
|
But when you continue to let loose on a running man |
|
You send him crashing to the 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, be free |
|
Just give me a vehicle to ride on |
|
Doing something you don't quite undertstand |
|
Makin' like he's a lesser man |
|
In your gunship, gunship, gunship politico |
|
I hope you don't get what you're after |
|
I hope you don't get what you're after |
|
Gunship, gunship, gunship politico |
|
I hope you don't get what you're after |
|
I know you're reaching your time |
|
Just a product of your mind |
|
But when you continue to let loose on a running man |
|
You send him crashing to the 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, be free |
|
You got your vehicle to ride on |
|
And off to the commissioner as fast as you can |
|
With your smoking gun in hand |
|
In your gunship, gunship, gunship politico |
|
I hope you don't get what you're after |
|
I hope you don't get what you're after |
|
Gunship, gunship, gunship politico |

|
Six men on their knees, eyes shinin' |
|
In the highbeams of the searchlight |
|
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 |
|
Men of authority |
|
We do not speak your language, see |
|
Please act accordingly |
|
He wasn't begging |
|
He was just keeping time with his cup |
|
You go on and believe that |
|
You keep your eyes straight up |
|
I was just looking |
|
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 women 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, see the confidence on the |
|
DA's faceWatch out for the politicos |
|
Don't mess, mess with the down down pressure way |
|
They got it down pat, they got it down to a tee |
|
No one gets through the lockstep jaw |
|
You ain't guilty, but you did get caught |
|
So lack for a better suspect we nominate you |
|
To ride this one out, to see this one through |
|
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 you could summon the likes of |
|
MosesTo put blood back in his friends veins |
|
And if you're one step faster |
|
You can skirt disaster |
|
But if it's not you, it'll be the next guy |
|
Who's the wrong color at the wrong time |
|
Another days over and the discision still stands |
|
His honor in his chambers, still washin' his hands |
|
You know he's been fiddlin in his room all day |
|
Just trying to wash all his conscience away |
|
No one's asking 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 keeping time with his cup |
|
He wasn't beggin' |
|
He was just keeping time with his cup |
|
He wasn't beggin' |
|
He was just keeping time with his cup |
|
I was just looking |
|
I had no intention to touch |
|
I was just looking |
|
I had no intention to touch |
|
I was just looking |
|
I had no intention to touch |
|
I know when |
|
I'm not welcome |
|
I said thank you very much |
