lyrics

There goes a cop car
Wonder where he's from
Shiny new paint job
Shiny badge and gun
There goes a raindrop
Falling on his face
It's traveled for miles but
He's never left his state
Feeling the water
Run across his head
A gift from the heavens
Helps wash off all the red
And blue's how he's feeling
Feels it in his blood
Familiar substance
Can't get enough

You've got a job to do
It's right there staring back at you
Big brother's guiding what you view
A helping hand points and you shoot

There goes the cop car
Wonder where he's headed
Does he see the street signs?
Has he ever read 'em?
Is he led by God or his favorite TV reverend?
Rendering the flesh of those who fail the testing, Oh
If you see him then we better go
I might be fine but you won't, we know
Don't bother talking 'cause his ears are closed

The downpour is spilling
Up from high above
He's making a killing
Doing what he loves
He's never felt stronger
Now that he took their drugs
Tripping on power
Can't get enough

You've got a job to do
It's right there staring back at you
Big brother's guiding what you view
A helping hand points and you shoot

You've got a job to do
They're right there, staring scared at you
Big brother telling you who's who
A whisper in your ear says "shoot"
