[Chorus]
Newspaper got some more people killed, yeah
Magazine, watch 'em shoot 'em in the field
Radio, they turn another deaf ear
?Institution stole everything else?
Sergeant man he's workin' on the lead
From a skunky at the Double Tree
Five cannons outside the door
Five badges and a labrador
Wanna chase after the dollar bill
Gotta race up the forgotten hill
They don't want you but you still here
God knows thats a miracle
[Chorus]
They pulled him over on the interstate
In her apartment through a stun grenade
Found a pistol, put the house in flames
That's what happens in the world today
Wanna chase after the dollar bill
Gotta race up the forgotten hill
They don't want you but you still here
Lord knows thats a miracle
