Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Black and Blue

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 you can do what you please

Do what you please

Oh, do what you please

Rape me, take me, shine your lights so I can't see

Holsters, guns, and uniforms just don't impress me

Blood-stained streets, he looks pretty neat

Somebody's crying 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

Oh, give it back

Walk across my face with your shiny shoes

Bow down to the badge and the colors black and blue

(One, two, three, four)

The blue knight, he rides tonight

A show of strength, a polished fight

Just take me home, 'cause I'm not alone

Just take me home, I'm not alone

Get ready

The squad's breaking down, but you misjudged your power

Get your handcuffs ready, 'cause we're coming in numbers
