Abner Louima v. Gov. Pete Wilson

Get down, turn around
Skinny Boy is on his knees;
And I can't figure out
What I need to do to please you

There's a man in Brooklyn
Who police are messing up 'til dawn
While The Man in California gives them semi-automatic guns

And we can't even function
When we're not in a band

I'm not eating well (as if I didn't have the time)
And I don't do pharmaceuticals, so I got no excuse for the crime

But they're eating them in Brooklyn
And the hot California sun
When police in California get their semi-automatic guns

And how many rounds will they get off
Before you get up your hands?

Oh, we can't even function
When we're not in a band
