Narc

Lyrics
Steven: "Uh..."
Arta: "All right let's blow some shit up... play loudest / most obscenely loud rock song written..."
Steven: "What's the (?)"

Times are tough and they're getting worse
Better watch out if you don't like the hearse
There's a war out there, out on those "mean streets"
I'm just another cop on a deadly beat

Dealing with the dealers
Yeah we always find some more
We get them with eight kilos
But we only turn in four
Users and abusers
Yeah we'll book 'em for a while
If we sell some on the side
We'll give you service with a smile
And then you yell, "Corruption"
And make it seem a crime
We're doin' our best to serve you
We're making bad guys die.

Rodney and the riots
And the lawsuits on the way
I only bagged three DUIs
While driving here today
Another trial, another trial
It's vigilante's hell
But hey, at least down here
We got no goddamn Chandra L.
And then you smell, "Corruption"
And make it seem a crime
We're doin' our best to serve you
We're making bad guys cry.

Times are tough and they're getting worse
Better watch out if you don't like the hearse
There's a war out there, out on those "mean streets"
Just another cop, another deadbeat

Today I'm gonna change
And I am going out to fight
I'm gonna find some criminals
And bring them to the light
I'll put on my narcotics badge
Inherit someone's stash
'Cause after all,
What kind of jerk don't want some extra cash?
And if I sell "Destruction"
And do it on your time
I'm doin' our best to serve you
I'm making bad guys sigh.

Times are tough and they're getting worse
Better watch out if you don't like the hearse
There's a war out there, out on those "mean streets"
I'm just another cop on a dead beat

Arta: "...all right, one, I'm going now."

Notes
Alex Ashot sings lead vocals and shares the writing credit with Steven and Arta. Banseok Kwon played the saxophone during the verses and instrumental break. The album version has the studio dialogue at the beginning and two additional guitar tracks to support Banseok's sax solo. Old mp3.com versions of "Narc" is missing these overdubs.
