Gunship Politico Lyrics

On the one they'll catch ya
If you skirt disaster
On the day they told her
But she wannna stay, stay

And all the ones that saw ya
Witnesses of Goya
Elected to serve ya
'Til your dying day
'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 of behalf of a brother twiced burned
Well, you'll 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
Makin' like he's a lesser man

So be gone, be gone, be free
Just give me a vehicle to ride on
Doing something you don't quite undertstand
Makin' like he's a lesser man

In your gunship, gunship, gunship politico
I hope you don't get what you're after
I hope you don't get what you're after
Gunship, gunship, gunship politico
I hope you don't get what you're after

I know you're 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
Makin' like he's a lesser man

So be gone, be gone, be free
You got your vehicle to ride on
And 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
I hope you don't get what you're after
Gunship, gunship, gunship politico
I hope you don't get what you're after

Six men on their knees, eyes shinin'
In the highbeams 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

Men of authority
We do not speak your language, see
Please act accordingly

He wasn't begging
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 the politicos
Don't mess, mess with the down down pressure 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 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 an ever fearful protest
As the firing squad would ever think to notice
As if you could summon the likes of Moses
To put blood back in his friends 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 days over and the discision still stands
His honor in his chambers, still washin' his hands
You know he's been fiddlin 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 beggin'
He was just keeping time with his cup
He wasn't beggin'
He was just keeping time with his cup
He wasn't beggin'
He was just keeping time with his cup

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

I know when I'm not welcome
I said thank you very much
