State Radio - Black Cab Motorcade lyrics

Well indeed you lost your friend

On the south side of where you live

Heard the call and had to leave

Boarded up windows burned out brick

Oh please don't you get

A little know fact about the place you set

It's always an empty plate

It's just there so we don't

Forget your loss and your history

Well indeed you found your friend

On the south side of where you live

All curled around his knees

Was it worse then you fret

The punishment you get

Hollow points in the concrete

Have you wailed for the likes of the walls and hunger strikes

Are you more than what you hate

Your fear will not fade the lines

That paint your face

It's a black cab motorcade

Black cab motorcade

Well this one must be lost

At this ungodly time of day

A broken curfew has a cost

A tidy sum you'll pay

Teacher won't you teach your lesson

Though the young are hard to break

Mr smith and mr wesson

And the cost of school these days

Well indeed you found your friend

On the south side of where you live

He was up and walking again

And have you heard what's happened since

Oh please don't you get

Is there any honor outside of revenge

Don't let her set another empty place

We swear that we won't

Forget your loss and your history

Forget your cross and your history

Have you wailed for the likes of the walls and hunger strikes

Are you more than what you hate

Well your fear will not fade the lines

That paint your face

It's a black cab motorcade

Black cab motorcade

Black cab motorcade
