Protect and Serve These streets got everything I need And now they’re trying to take it away from me They see skinheads, anarchy All I see are angels Hey what’s the conspiracy My friend got beat up in a riot And all I got was this lousy t-shirt Pretty funky how everything stayed so quiet Until some of them reporters got hurt A nice helping of just deserts They expected a fastball we threw them a curve Now they’re saying that we just got what we deserved Well, I think that they got a lot of nerve From someone who’s motto is Protect and serve Protect and serve Protect and serve Protect and serve

about

"This was written shortly after the Tompkins Square Riot of 1988 in New York City. The track is from what seems to be the 1989 New Year's Eve party at Chameleon Club in NYC." - Lach
