lyrics

I ONCE ASSUMED we’d all agree
that unarmed children shouldn’t be
shot down without warning on the street

But now I find that I was wrong
some find a way to blame it on
the victim whose life is incomplete

Well I guess we just see differently
the police and me
And I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I

Just as long as they’re afraid
they can gun you down today
and never face a trial or a court

Anytime and anywhere
they beat a man cuffed to a hospital chair
and still wrote him up as a suspect in their report

Well I guess we just see differently
the police and me
And I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I

Don’t you call the boys in blue
you never know what they will do

If anybody’s feeling fear
why is it the people here
with guns and helmets vests and armored cars

Who knock unarmed civilians down
and shoot them lying on the ground
but never get arrested or get charged

Well I guess we just see differently
the police and me
And I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I

Yeah I guess we just see differently
the police and me
and I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I guess
oh I guess we just see differently
the police and me
