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
