Protect & Serve |
Mama Papa It’s cold in here |
I’m hurt and I’m bleeding and I’m really scared |
I don’t wanna go back outside |
Cause the bigboys are waiting and they’ll get me one more time |
And if we can’t protect the weak |
How can we call ourselves strong |
Is the assurance that they seek |
So beyond us all |
Help me, someone, is anyone there? |
This man asked directions and I said I’d help |
Now I’m tied up and all alone |
And I don’t think he ever plans to let me |
Go back home |
And if we can’t protect the young |
How can we call ourselves grown |
They place their trust in anyone |
Only to lose it all |
And when it happens we seem so surprised |
Like we’ve not seen it all before |
We wring our hands & cry |
What do they do it for |
What do they do it for |
What do they do it for |
Broken fingers & the phones too far |
Can’t even think now why I opened the door |
Robbed and battered I’ve lost all pride |
There was only enough cash to see that I got by |
And if we can’t protect the old |
How can we call ourselves civilized? |
And is the comfort they deserve |
So difficult to provide? |
