Gunship Politico lyrics

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
