Protection Lyrics by Destroy Babylon

Shapeshifters

2017

Did they stop you in the street
Show me your hands, kid
And spread your feet
‘Cause you look like a threat to me
No there’s no profile in the system i can see
‘Cause i guess some things just run too deep
Like how much do you pay for protection

Armed to the teeth
Wake up everyday
Gotta lay another wreath
Protection
Armed to the teeth
Pistol under pillow
But we still don’t sleep in peace
Protection

Did she make a man out of you kid
Or did she something she had to play with
I guess some things can’t be undid
In this way mayhem plays for keeps
‘Cause i guess some things just run too deep
Like how much do you pay for protection

Armed to the teeth
Wake up everyday
Gotta lay another wreath
Protection
Armed to the teeth
Pistol under pillow
But we still don’t sleep in peace
Protection

How much do you pay for protection
