Two Dead Cops

Framed plant portrait
 On the wall
 Christmas commercial
 How many times?
 Someone shouted
 "Last call"
 And I know he means it
 At least this night
 Stained white sweater
 Flourescent light
 One quarter short
 "Get me next time"
 Somebody shouted
 "Get outside"
 And we fell in rank to
 watch him bolt by
 "Where the fuck is he?"
 "Down the stairs"
 "What did he look like?"
 "Dark and tall"
 Somebody shouted
 "They had it coming!"
 "Freeze!"
 Bang! -
 Bang!
 "Shoot!"
 Protect you
 Is what they sayt, but
 point and shoot
 Is what they do
 When shots are heard
 When lives are lost
 Nobody cries in the ghetto
 For two dead cops
 Off duty portrait
 Cracked from the cold
 Guadalupe candle
 No permit for fire
 Bears holding hearts
 And some a rose
 Said a police bastard
 "We lost two lives"
 G train delayed
 "What else is new
 B 43 dead
 "Called a car"
 Tompkins is blocked
 And there's helicopters,
 Floodlights, and guards.
 Somebody follows you
 Home in the dark
 Can't look back
 All the gates are down
 He could do anything
 Theres no one around
 Plant a bag in my pants.
