歌曲歌詞
Ya know
There's this park
You see
In new york
That's what this song is about
Where we used to grow up
And
Um
Hang around
And then we started moving on
And started going on the road
We weren't home that much
But
Back then they had this really great idea
When we hit town
These parks were prime real estate
You see
And if we could keep them nice looking
We could charge more rent for the places around town
Now
I know you guys have that here around boston
But
You know
In new york
They had this great idea that there had to be a crack down
So we could sweep the park clean of the undesirable elements
And we figured
What could we do
Besides vote
Perhaps we could tell a song
To you
Through the musical medium
And then you'll know
So here we go
I really hope so
Well
Here it is
Rich man smells smoke
He smells something burning green
Doesn't like the odor
Better put some badges on the scene
Put a blue suit on everybody you see hangin' round
And if that don't work
We're gonna close that park down
But anyway
Yesterday a man was busted trying to walk his dog
Cop didn't like his attitude
Say that he was against the law
Shoot everybody with a mutt this side of the town
And if that don't work
We're gonna close that park down
Preach on
My wounded chandler
You know when you're walkin' through that park one night
Whether your skin is black or white
And you feel that particular pressure on the back of your head
And the hairs on the back of your neck start to stand up
And you hear a
Police call
Trust those hairs
Because if you're big or burly
Or even short and surly
Or if your cat's named shirley
You could be walkin' through that park
And meet with the most undesirable disaster
Compliments of your taxes
I'm not saying its gonna happen
I'm not saying that it will definitely happen
But it could happen
Because it has happened
I mean
It could be you
Or you
Or you
Or you
Or you
Those guys back there
Yeah
That guy
Yeah definitely
Those three
Easily
Yup
You
Yup
That guy
That guy
Him
Those guys up there
Stinky or scarface
Anybody
Well
Enough of my yakking
What about your truth and your mother's apple pie
I guess it's all another part of your grand designing lie
Should I tell you something pretty so you don't end my way of life
Or should I come up from behind with some stolen
Bloody
Rusty knife
Well maybe I should sit by and watch you kill my friends
And maybe I can learn to love you and hope you never end
Perhaps I can learn to hate you but I think I already do
All I know for sure right now
It's gotta be me or you
While your uncle rolls his joints with his fifty dollar bill
I'm off in some other park
And I'm laughing at you still
Laughing my saggy a*s off at you baby
C'mon tell me all of your stories
Tell me about your politics
Tell me anything
Tell me how you blame your kids
Tell me
