the act of smoking / the art of breathing / the smart theives / the stupid crooks / thugs that give the dirty looks / and the kids with books / and all those that walk the fence / never to be classified under false pretence / beneath the surface / defensive and nervous / bloody nose, vision blurred / but its "to protect and serve" / you need to realize who it benefits..... / "folks, to protect and serve is not a completed sentance!" / now who stands to gain at the end of that statement? / waiting for araignment with chained fists / is it to protect and serve the working class with broken backs, and bruised necks? / or to protect theones that write the checks and forget the rest? / untill its time to meet your quota / bars and humans equal a bigger empire than cigarettes and soda
