CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Floyd
I wonder why we have a Dictionary
If we don't follow it for each and every word
So you can't claim self defense when you're standing on his neck
And you can't serve or protect, when brandishing a weapon
We would glorify these men when we were nine or ten
We didn't know the full extent of what the job description meant
While the First Amendment states that god and speech are safe
It oughta really change, and include our f**king race
We went from hopscotch to tag
And now we're chugging Scotch and filling body bags
When did sh*t become so bad?
We went from crosswalks to class
Now we're crossing names off lists we've never had
We can't wash these bloody rags
And if fear's the only cause, then you shouldn't have a job
Hell, I'm scared of my own mom
Doesn't mean she's better gone
And I'm sorry everyone, I can never do enough
And I'd love to blame the world and leave but it's way too big for all of us to run
If we don't follow it for each and every word
So you can't claim self defense when you're standing on his neck
And you can't serve or protect, when brandishing a weapon
We would glorify these men when we were nine or ten
We didn't know the full extent of what the job description meant
While the First Amendment states that god and speech are safe
It oughta really change, and include our f**king race
We went from hopscotch to tag
And now we're chugging Scotch and filling body bags
When did sh*t become so bad?
We went from crosswalks to class
Now we're crossing names off lists we've never had
We can't wash these bloody rags
And if fear's the only cause, then you shouldn't have a job
Hell, I'm scared of my own mom
Doesn't mean she's better gone
And I'm sorry everyone, I can never do enough
And I'd love to blame the world and leave but it's way too big for all of us to run
