Gunship Politico

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
