Black Batons Lyrics by The Taxpayers

Modest Proposals

2011

They weren't bloodied up by black batons or swallowed up by an angry mob
No, they got fucked up in a goddamn bar
Got into their mama's brand new car and drove on and on...
When the lights go down on an empty boulevard
You get people reliving the critical center start
When walls erode into a crushing water grave
They slip away
They weren't bloodied up by black batons or swallowed up by an angry mob
No, they got fucked up in a goddamn bar
Got into their mama's brand new car and drove on and on...
