Lyrics
Ganglord
The police are kicking their way into my house
And haunting me, taunting me
Wanting me to break their laws
Ganglord
The police are kicking their way into my house
And haunting me, taunting me
Wanting me to break their laws
And I'm turning to you to save me
And I'm turning to you to save me
Ganglord
The police are grinding me into the ground
The headless pack are back
Small-boy jokes and loaded guns
Ganglord
The police are grinding me into the ground
The headless pack are back
Small boy jokes and loaded guns
And I'm turning to you to save me
And I'm turning to you to save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
To save me
Save me
To save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
To save me
Ganglord
There's a clock on the wall
Making fun of us all
Ganglord
The clock on the wall
Makes a joke of us all
And I'm turning to you to save me
And I'm turning to you to save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
To save me
Save me
To save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
To save me
Ganglord
Remember, the police can always be bribed
Ganglord
Remember, the police can always be bribed
They say:
"To protect and to serve"
But what they really mean to say is:
"Get back to the ghetto
The ghetto
Get back to the ghetto
The ghetto
Get yourself back to the ghetto
The ghetto
Get yourself back to the ghetto
The ghetto
Get yourself back to the ghetto"
