Votes And Violence Lyrics - The Dingees

They got me runnin' from 56 hope road 

Seems my world came crashin' down a moment ago 

I got this banner cross my back that says I'll be okay 

And save the dyin' for some other day 

When you're walkin' in my city you gotta duck and dive 

'cause in the city bullets fly 

They put a gun in the hand of a juvenile 

When you look them in the eye things get wild 

Took a little detour down to washington boulevard 

Dreadlocks in the moonlight down in lee perry's yard 

I'm in the wrong place at the right time 

No longer in the line of fire now I'm stayin' alive 

Hit it hit it get ready to roll 

Your world's been fallin' down now it's startin to show 

You got your reasons hidden deep behind your eyes 

Your blowin' up mines crossin' over police lines 

They're gonna fight against us but they will not overcome 

No one's touchin' my life till my job gets done 

When you're walkin' in my city you gotta duck and dive 

'cause in the city bullets fly 

They put a gun in the hand of a juvenile 

When you look them in the eye things get wild 

Now this bounty been placed upon my head 

What does it really mean if a man wants me dead? 

If I'm gunned down in the streets of trenchtown 

Will the people come around when they hear the sound?
