Lyrics
On the one they'll catch you If you skirt disaster On the day they told her But she want to stay, stay
And the ones that saw you Witnesses of goya Elected to serve ya 'Till your dying day 'Till 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 a brother Twice burned I know you 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 Making like he's a lesser man
So be gone be gone to plea You got your vehicle to ride on 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 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 high beams 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 You men of authority We do not speak your language see Please act accordingly
'Cause he wasn't beggin' 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 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 No one gets through the lockstep jaw You ain't guilty but you did get caught So for 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 a ever fearful protest As if the firing squad would ever think to notice As if he could summon the likes of moses To put blood back in his friend's 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 day's over and the decision still stands His honor in his chambers still washing his hands You know he's been fiddling 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 begging he was just keeping time with his cup He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup You go on and believe that You keep your eyes straight up
'Cause 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 And I know when I'm not welcome so I thank you very much
