Welcome To Daytrotter

White Jesus Part I / II

Alright
There’s been a murder
Down in Queens
A young couple gunned-down
At the scene
Shot in the head
Ambushed in a car
They should at stayed
Back in the bar

Cops don’t protect you
Don’t have a clue
C’mon boy
Don’t forget article number two

It’s the constitution
The right to bare arms
Get yourself a gun now girl
‘Cause it won’t do you no harm

Son of a bitch
Son of Sam
Son of a bitch
There’s blood on your hands

Ahhhhhhh

Doesn’t wear a hat
Always has a close-crop
A doctor with a black bag
And all through the cops

Brunettes in the Bronx
They are running scared
Down on the ground
Cut-short that hair

Cops don’t protect you
Don’t have a clue
C’mon boys
Don’t forget article two

It’s a Blues Explosion
The right to bare arms
Get yourself a gun now girl, woo
It won’t do you no harm

Son of a bitch
Son of Sam
Son of a bitch
There’s blood on your hands

Ahhhhhhh
