[ Featuring Boys. ]
I see the cop's lights flash on from behind me
Die Polizei get out and ask me to parley
Somethin' 'bout graffiti goin' up in the alley
Another car pulls up, like they got a reason to rally
Scarf over my face like a terrorist surgeon
Mos Def wannabe high school virgin
I only do it when my nose is cold
I don't even know where the can s are sold
They wanna know just how I came to be
In Germany
I say '**** the police'
They disagree
Vehemently
One of them asks me if that's my official statement
I start to skate away but there's a crack in the pavement
Leave the board behind and make a run for the subway
Hear shouts at my back and know that it's gonna get ugly.
Slidin' down the rail just as the train pulls to the platform
I want to swipe my pass but figure that would be in bad form
I pop my legs over the turnstile
And turn back to give them a curt smile
I see they're strollin' down so casually
Inexplicably
Until I turn to see
What's ahead of me
More police
Bravado finally fails and I sink into submission
Putting my head down and assuming the position.
Walked back up the stairs to a cruiser on a side street
Surprised the board is waiting when I climb into the backseat
I ask what's gonna happen when we get to the station
They say that of course there will be an interrogation
I say I don't know nothing, that I'm innocent, a patsy
That they got no right to hold me, this bunch of filthy Nazis
You can't just put me on the green mile
I've got the right to have a fair trial
They say despite my eccentricity
No one's gonna kill me
It's just some fever dream
So please act reasonably
They say for all my claimed morality
I've no decency
In reach of me
No decency
I guess that all the world outside of me
Is entirely
Outside of me
So lobotomy
