Soul Asylum - Black And Blue Lyrics

Protect and serve
Slice my nerve
Gotta make sure everybody's gonna
Get what they deserve

I make my plea, down on my knees
Street cowboy with a badge that says
Can do what you please
Do what you please, do what you please

Rape me, take me
Shine your lights so I can't see
Holsters, guns and uniform
Just don't impress me

Blood stained streets
He looks pretty neat
Somebody's cryin' for help
And he's breaking up my party

Please stop breathing down my neck
Took away something that's mine
I want you to give it back
You gotta give it back, now give it back

Walk across my face
With your shiny shoes
Bow down to the badge
And colors black and blue

Oh, the blue night, he rides tonight
A show of strength, a polished fight
Just take me home 'cuz I'm not alone
Just take me home, I'm not alone

Get ready, the squads breakin' down
But you misjudged power
Get your handcuffs ready
'Cuz we're coming in numbers
