about

Originally by Soltero

lyrics

Tonight every car on the street is a cop
but every light lasts so long that we never even stop
and tomorrow you say we can blow them all away
but come now come now that's enough, you get off on talking tough
and the truth is a pest you can try to ignore
but it will follow you home, it will wait outside your door

and tonight I'll pretend that I've always felt this way
but I would gladly give away the awful way I felt today
she shows no fear at all when we face Denver's finest
they cannot believe their ears when she says to them she says
with your violent inclinations, and your crude intimidations
you're the single greatest problem in this problematic nation"
if nothing else we can annoy them to no end

I sing fight songs for my true love
and she always gets embarrassed
I think secretly she loves it, maybe me
and she shows no fear at all when we face Denver's finest
I am shaking where I stand when she says to them she says
"To protect and to serve" yeah but can you tell me who?
cause I have never felt very comfortable with you
and aren't you the ones who were sent to make me happy?
cause I wouldn't dare to accuse you of trying

you can regulate our lives, but that doesn't mean we trust you
you can lie to us all night, but that doesn't mean we're listening
if nothing else we can annoy them to no end
if nothing else I'll bleed on them

and tonight I will love you til they trample us like roses
we may die but we won't mind cause we'll be right, we're always right
and tomorrow you say we can finally have our way
but come now why give up the fight? we can fight so well tonight
