No Help

Exit that Crown Vic at the end of this cul-de-sac in the dead of night Well, you waltz through that dead bolted door Overwhelmed by an instinct to run and hide Patted down inside They take the only clip from the trusty gun at your side One bought out cop And a shakedown gone wrong Will forever change your life Don't you fucking tell me What I'm supposed to pay you for Well, you punctuate the message With a bullet in the floor Tailing you so easy, cause we've got friendlies on the force So don't go seeking justice Cause it won't help you anymore This fearful counting of the seconds left until the grave Results in building paper homes full of empty words and open flames Is our time best spent amongst the wreckage of former tragedies Bemoaning past transgressions with politicized apologies? If together we can't stand Well, then united we will fall Oh, this show must go on But we're no damn help at all No help at all Put rounds through a barrel To bring out the feral To feel like you're walking the line Enlisting you lookout And getaway driver You're part of the perfect crime Off and away once the safe has been cleared out You've never felt so alive But deep in the forest Dividing the spoils You know you're living a lie No one's gonna free you when you willingly agree To Napoleonic orders From a band of merry thieves Tricking you so easy cause you're piss and vinegar Think yourself above reproach But you're just a lonely cur You're just a lonely cur my boy This fearful counting of the seconds left until the grave Results in building paper houses full of empty words and open flames Is our time best spent amongst the wreckage of former tragedies Bemoaning past transgressions with politicized apologies If together we can't stand Well, then united we will fall Oh, this show must go on But we're no damn help at all No help at all
