Under the Streetlights

from Lines in the Sand by Coke Bust

/

lyrics

A drug lord removed
A constricted supply
The prices will soar
But people need to get high
The incentive increases
So another steps up
Everyone loses
And the fight is corrupt

Killing each other
Sanctions for a civil war
Under the streetlights
Victims at mercy of the courts
Under the streetlights

The freest market
Our economy knows
Takes a toll on its people
And the bullet holes show
Job for the cops
Profits for the prison
A big fucking circle
And they just will not listen

You’ve created a market
You’ve done it yourself
You call the shots
That ring in the night
So I pledge my allegiance
And gaze at the flag
Liberty and justice
For bodies in bags?
Who are they kidding?
They know they can’t win
Continued oppression
Again and again
