And in the space between
A neighborhood and a street map
Between a battle fought and a ballot cast
Between our vacant hands and the things we lack
And in the space between
Having nothing and everything
Between your tired bones and the empty buildings
Between this abandoned lot and a vegetable garden
There are people with guns who know how to use 'em
Nothing better to do than hop in their cruisers
And go crack the skulls of some dropouts and losers
Get congratulated on restraint when they do it so
If we can't blow up a social relationship
We also can't reason with bullets so
Lets not be confused who uniforms and badges work for
Its not intelligence that keeps assholes rich
Its fucking armies of blue rolling with full clips
With hand cuffs and clubs for anyone who's sick of going with that
Just because they're poor
And in the space between
Who I am and who I should be
Between a tired loner and a community
Between where the van broke down and Alturas street.
And in the space between
Me and the neighbors out on the street
Between the walls that we pay to keep
And the ruins that this world deserves to be
There are people with guns who know how to use 'em
Nothing better to do than hop in their cruisers
And go crack the skulls of some dropouts and losers
Get congratulated on restraint when they do it so
If we can't blow up a social relationship
We also can't reason with bullets so
Lets not be confused who uniforms and badges work for
Its not intelligence that keeps assholes rich
Its fucking armies of blue riding with full clips
With hand cuffs and clubs for anyone who's sick of going without
Just because they're poor
A neighborhood and a street map
Between a battle fought and a ballot cast
Between our vacant hands and the things we lack
And in the space between
Having nothing and everything
Between your tired bones and the empty buildings
Between this abandoned lot and a vegetable garden
There are people with guns who know how to use 'em
Nothing better to do than hop in their cruisers
And go crack the skulls of some dropouts and losers
Get congratulated on restraint when they do it so
If we can't blow up a social relationship
We also can't reason with bullets so
Lets not be confused who uniforms and badges work for
Its not intelligence that keeps assholes rich
Its fucking armies of blue rolling with full clips
With hand cuffs and clubs for anyone who's sick of going with that
Just because they're poor
And in the space between
Who I am and who I should be
Between a tired loner and a community
Between where the van broke down and Alturas street.
And in the space between
Me and the neighbors out on the street
Between the walls that we pay to keep
And the ruins that this world deserves to be
There are people with guns who know how to use 'em
Nothing better to do than hop in their cruisers
And go crack the skulls of some dropouts and losers
Get congratulated on restraint when they do it so
If we can't blow up a social relationship
We also can't reason with bullets so
Lets not be confused who uniforms and badges work for
Its not intelligence that keeps assholes rich
Its fucking armies of blue riding with full clips
With hand cuffs and clubs for anyone who's sick of going without
Just because they're poor
