Lyrics Citizen Cope

Citizen Cope

The Newspaper

The newspaper got some more people killed here

The magazine watched them shoot em' in the field there

The radio they turned another deaf ear

The institutions stole everything near

Segeant Manny's workin' on a lead

From his funky at the doubletree

Five cannon's outside the door

Five badges and a labrador

Born to chase after that dollar bill

Not to race up that forgotten hill

They don't want you but you're still here

And God knows that's a miracle

The newspaper got some more people killed here

The magazine watched them shoot em' in the field here

The radio they turned another deaf ear

The institution stole everything near

They pulled them over on the interstate

In her apartment threw a stun grenade

Found the pistol put the house in flames

And that's was happened in their world today

Born to chase after that dollar bill

Not to race up that forgotten hill

They don't want you but you're still here

God knows that's a miracle
