Police Police Me by Hey Mercedes Lyrics

The motor buzzes in the basement
Behind a curtain
Behind a wall
Upstairs the crowds have all
Gathered to see
How they can make money off tragedy

Police police me
It's so easy

Heads hover above podiums;
Nobody understands that they don't stand a chance
The glow of this show is alarmingly charming
And the stars are all smiling;
It's disarming

Police police me

And all the while
We're waiting
For something like a sign
From the hole of lost control;
From our overmade minds--come on, go
Goodnight bloodsuckers
Sleep tight in your traps
The cheapest trash gets bought so fast
The cops and the criminals
The safe and the stray--they all mix in the ditches anyway
Police police me
