Bootlicker

Cadet blue
A tension watching you
We cross our hearts and walk the streets to meet your attitude
Distort, but capture sight
We capture every night

Collision course
A city wide fraternal force
Stuck between the line and evening action news reports
You failed before the call
Standing up to fall

We showed up
Said what was on our minds
And left it to rest with you
Showed up
Said what was on our minds
But kept what was left for you

We've bruised blue
From tension watching you
A numbered badge just wasting time on every avenue
Hit snooze or make reports
Which no design supports

We showed up
Said what was on our minds
And left it to rest with you
Showed up
Said what was on our minds
But kept what was left for you

Cutting deals with every streetlight on the way back home
Cutting deals with every stoplight on the way back home

Who will you protect if we all need protection?
Who do you serve?
Who will you protect if we all need protection?
Well, who the fuck do you serve?

Cutting deals with every streetlight on the way back home
Cutting deals with every stoplight on the way back home

I showed up
Said what was on my mind
And left it to rest with you
Showed up
Said what was on my mind
But kept what was left for you
