Downtown Jury
On the night of sleeping hollow, in renunciation of death
So cold out on the parking lot, we could see each other's breath
Lost souls on rapid transit, snorting coke and smoking grass
All acting out the impulse, to make it the final pass.
Tell that, to a downtown jury, I said tell that to a downtown jury,
I'd like to see you try.
Disorder dissasociation, disfunction and disgrace
And a total disability, to look disciples in the face
A third strike for the loser, no hostage to protect
Brains all on the table, for Dr Benway to dissect.
Tell that to a downtown jury, tell that to a downtown jury,
I said tell that to a downtown jury, try and tell that to a downtown jury,
I'd like to see ya try.
Shave the odds and roll the dice now, the exit's just ahead
Choose an occupation, where the dead stay really dead
In a deputy-sheriff's uniform, shoes-shined lickspit neat
With the song's good instruction-a shotgun under the seat.
Tell that to a downtown jury, yeah, tell that to a downtown jury,
I said tell it now to a downtown jury,
Go ahead tell it to downtown Jury,
I'd like to see you try.
So cold out on the parking lot, we could see each other's breath
Lost souls on rapid transit, snorting coke and smoking grass
All acting out the impulse, to make it the final pass.
Tell that, to a downtown jury, I said tell that to a downtown jury,
I'd like to see you try.
Disorder dissasociation, disfunction and disgrace
And a total disability, to look disciples in the face
A third strike for the loser, no hostage to protect
Brains all on the table, for Dr Benway to dissect.
Tell that to a downtown jury, tell that to a downtown jury,
I said tell that to a downtown jury, try and tell that to a downtown jury,
I'd like to see ya try.
Shave the odds and roll the dice now, the exit's just ahead
Choose an occupation, where the dead stay really dead
In a deputy-sheriff's uniform, shoes-shined lickspit neat
With the song's good instruction-a shotgun under the seat.
Tell that to a downtown jury, yeah, tell that to a downtown jury,
I said tell it now to a downtown jury,
Go ahead tell it to downtown Jury,
I'd like to see you try.
