Get down, turn around,
Skinny Boy is on his knees;
and I can`t figure out
what I need to do to please you.
There`s a man in Brooklyn
who police are messing up `til dawn,
while The Man in California gives them semi-automatic guns.
And we can`t even function
when we`re not in a band.
I`m not eating well (as if I didn`t have the time),
and I don`t do pharmaceuticals, so I got no excuse for the crime,
But they`re eating them in Brooklyn
and the hot California sun,
when police in California get their semi-automatic guns.
And how many rounds will they get off
before you get up your hands?
Oh, we can`t even function
When we`re not in a band.
