Downtown Jury (2023 Mix)

In the night I'm sleeping hollow

In renunciation of death

So cold out on the parking lot

We can see each other's breath

Like souls on rapid transit

Snorting coke, smoking grass

All acting out the impulse

To make it the final pass

But tell that to a downtown jury

I said tell that to a downtown jury

I'd like to see you try

Disorder, disassociation

Disfunction and disgrace

And a total disability

To look disciples in the face

A third strike for the loser

No hostage to protect

Brains all on the table

For Dr. Van Winkle to dissect

But tell that to a downtown jury

Yeah, tell that to a downtown jury

I said tell that to a downtown jury

Try and tell that to a downtown jury

I'd like to see you try

Shake the odds and roll the dice now

The exit's just ahead

Choose an occupation

Where the dead stay really dead

In a deputy sheriff's uniform

Shoe shine, lick spit, neat

A life of solemn instruction

A shotgun under the seat

But tell that to a downtown jury

Yeah, tell that to a downtown jury

I said tell it now to a downtown jury

Go ahead, tell it to a downtown jury

I'd like to see you try
