Gunship Politico Lyrics - Us Against The Crown - State Radio

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 

If you please 

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
