Butcher for Hire
If you wanna have a protest in the USAYou wanna speak your mind in the American WayIf there are some rich white men with whom you disagreeAnd thought you have the right of assemblyThere's a man that you should know'Cause he will follow you wherever you goJohn Timoney, butcher for hireHe's a brutal thug and a dirty liarHe's a cop among cops, a man among menAnd, oh my God, he's back againAnd he'll protect our freedom in his own special wayBy smashing in your face todayHe'll spray tear gas in your eyesHe'll look into the camera and tell liesAnd if you complain the deal is rawHe will declare martial lawJohn Timoney, butcher for hireHe's a brutal thug and a dirty liarHe's a cop among cops, a man among menAnd, oh my God, he's back againHe'll ban dancing, he'll ban artHe'll ban medics on go-cartsLetras de cancionesHe'll ban meetings, he'll ban signsHe'll ban circles, he'll ban linesHe'll stand up upon his throneAnd say "Go back to your free speech zone"John Timoney, butcher for hireHe's a brutal thug and a dirty liarHe's a cop among cops, a man among menAnd, oh my God, he's back againBut someday he'll meet his endHe's already half-way round the bendHe'll take stock of what he's doneStare at the notches on his gunHe'll look into the mirror and at his poor wifeAnd say, "Oh my God, I've been a scumbag my whole life"John Timoney, butcher for hireHe's a brutal thug and a dirty liarHe's a cop among cops, a man among menAnd, oh my God, he's back againJohn Timoney, butcher for hireHe's a brutal thug and a dirty liarHe's a cop among cops, a man among menAnd, oh my God, he's back again From Letras Mania
