Herb & Jellyfish - No Help

Exit that Crown Vic at the end of this cul-de-sac in the dead of night
Well, you waltz through that dead bolted door
Overwhelmed by an instinct to run and hide
Patted down inside
They take the only clip from the trusty gun at your side
One bought out cop
And a shakedown gone wrong
Will forever change your life
Don't you fucking tell me
What I'm supposed to pay you for
Well, you punctuate the message
With a bullet in the floor
Tailing you so easy, cause we've got friendlies on the force
So don't go seeking justice
Cause it won't help you anymore
This fearful counting of the seconds left until the grave
Results in building paper homes full of empty words and open flames
Is our time best spent amongst the wreckage of former tragedies
Bemoaning past transgressions with politicized apologies?
If together we can't stand
Well, then united we will fall
Oh, this show must go on
But we're no damn help at all
No help at all
Put rounds through a barrel
To bring out the feral
To feel like you're walking the line
Enlisting you lookout
And getaway driver
You're part of the perfect crime
Off and away once the safe has been cleared out
You've never felt so alive
But deep in the forest
Dividing the spoils
You know you're living a lie
No one's gonna free you when you willingly agree
To Napoleonic orders
From a band of merry thieves
Tricking you so easy cause you're piss and vinegar
Think yourself above reproach
But you're just a lonely cur
You're just a lonely cur my boy
This fearful counting of the seconds left until the grave
Results in building paper houses full of empty words and open flames
Is our time best spent amongst the wreckage of former tragedies
Bemoaning past transgressions with politicized apologies
If together we can't stand
Well, then united we will fall
Oh, this show must go on
But we're no damn help at all
No help at all
