CITIZEN COPE LYRICS - The Newspaper

"The Newspaper"



The newspaper got some more people killed here

The magazine watched them shoot em' in the field there

The radio they turned another deaf ear

The institutions stole everything near



Segeant Manny's workin' on a lead

From his funky at the doubletree

Five cannon's outside the door

Five badges and a labrador



Born to chase after that dollar bill

Not to race up that forgotten hill

They don't want you but you're still here

And God knows that's a miracle



The newspaper got some more people killed here

The magazine watched them shoot em' in the field here

The radio they turned another deaf ear

The institution stole everything near



They pulled them over on the interstate

In her apartment threw a stun grenade

Found the pistol put the house in flames

And that's was happened in their world today



Born to chase after that dollar bill

Not to race up that forgotten hill

They don't want you but you're still here

God knows that's a miracle
