Officer's Asking For Death (Angel of Sadness)
So it’s been an average day
Nothing good, some bad
Is that what we salvages say?
Officer pulls me over at the Kangaroo
Says our tail lights out, wants to search the car
Well do what you choose
Officer’s asking for death
So things aren’t going well
Given no warrant, how long will I hold my composure?
Only time will tell
Will my violent thoughts lay cold in exposure?
Officer, again, pulls me over 2 miles down the road
Maybe this time I’ll take off a load
Shines his light in my window,
just in front of smokers paradise
Obviously these provokers don’t care about life
Officer’s asking for death
So the past ten minutes ain’t been chillin
I used to be a server, I did the clean dealing
Waiting tables ain’t but a legal way of hustling
It’s just another day, no fussing
So at a stop sign we stop, take this right on campus
And what do you know, more blue lights
How funny the boys in blue decided to stamp us
Says our license plate was out
Sworn citizens holding true lies
what more is this about?
Officer’s asking for death
