| Dirty old streets and dirty young women
|
| Dirty black skies over dirty politicians
|
| Someone’s gotta clean up this mess
|
| Ain’t gonna be me though
|
| They got cameras in the sky
|
| Collecting on the damage
|
| Then they televise the suspect
|
| The lowly savage
|
| Like some preachers critiquing
|
| Strip teases at peep shows
|
| «All good boys and girls do as you’re told
|
| Pay your taxes, obey your God.»
|
| But what do we do when it’s our God or
|
| Government who has done wrong?
|
| Father got his books of the Bible
|
| Puppies got them loveable eyes
|
| An idol got a slew of disciples
|
| A thief in disguise don’t need a crowbar to pry
|
| And I’m a God-fearin' man
|
| So I’m gon' run as fast as I can;
|
| No crook in a suit’s gonna take from my hand
|
| When my babies need food
|
| And soon they’ll want crayons
|
| «All loyal subjects, you need not fear —
|
| If you stand fast, brother provides.»
|
| But what do we do when our brother forgets
|
| His blood is just as mine?
|
| «What's hangin' outta your shirt?
|
| What’s hangin' outta your skirt?
|
| You make me want some… but don’t call if you ain’t gon' come
|
| What’s hangin' outta your purse?
|
| You gon' fit that in your hearse?
|
| So lemme have some… but don’t call if you ain’t gon' come.» |
