Framed plant portrait
On the wall
Christmas commercial
How many times
Somebody shouted
Last call
And I knew he means it
At least this night
Stained white sweater
Fluorescent light
One quarter short
Get me next time
Somebody shouted
Get outside
And we fell in rank to
Watch him bolt by
Where the fuck is he?
Down the stairs
What did he look like?
Dark and tall
Somebody shouted
They had it coming!
Freeze!
Bang!
Bang!
Shoot!
Protect you
Is what they say, but
Point and shoot
Is what they do
Protect you
Is what they say, but
Point and shoot
Is what they do
When shots are heard
When lives are lost
Nobody cries in the ghetto
For two dead cops
Off duty portrait
Cracked from the cold
Guadalupe candle
No permit for fire
Bears holding hearts
And some a rose
Said a police bastard
We lost two lives
G train delayed
What else is new
B 43 dead
Called a car
Tompkins is blocked
And there's helicopters
Flood lights and guards
Somebody follows you
Home in the dark
Can't look back
All the gates are down
He could do anything
There's no one around
Plant a bag in my pants
Protect you
Is what they want, but
Point and shoot
Is what they do
Protect you
Is what they want, but
Point and shoot
Is what they do
Protect you
Is what they want, but
Point and shoot
Is what they do
Protect you
Is what they want, but
Point and shoot
Is what they do
Nobody cries in the ghetto
For two dead cops
