lyrics

cold open to a body on the slab
cup of coffee in my hand
I'm hard boiled and there's trouble at home
that's how it is working for the man
freeze frame try to hold that grin
even though I'm slipping over the edge
just sit back and let those credits roll because

COP SHOW – things aren't as simple as black and white
COP SHOW – am I on the right side?
COP SHOW – just the facts, ma'am

chief wants to see me, seems like it's every day

no matter how hard I try my life keeps seeming like I'm stuck inside a

COP SHOW – things aren't as simple as black and white
COP SHOW – am I on the right side?
COP SHOW – just the facts, ma'am!

The White Tornado Davenport, Iowa
