Soul Asylum
Black and Blue
[Verse 1]
Protect and serve, slice my nerve
Gotta make sure everybody's gonna get what they deserve
Make my plea, I'm down on my knees
Street cowboy with a badge that says can do what you please
Do what you please, do what you please, do what you please

[Chorus]
Rape me, take me, shine your lights so I can't see
Holsters, guns and uniforms
Just don't impress

[Verse 2]
Blood stained streets, he looks pretty neat
Somebody's cryin' for help, he's breaking up my party
Please stop breathing down my neck
Took away something that's mine, I want you to give it back
You gotta give it back, now give it back

[Chorus]
Walk across my face with your shiny shoes
Bow down to the badge
And colors black and blue

[Verse 3]
The blue night, he rides tonight
It's your street, it's a powerless fight
So take me home, 'cause I'm not alone
Just take me home, I'm not alone
[Chorus]
The squads breakin' down
But you misjudged power
Get your handcuffs ready
'Cause we're coming in numbers
