David Rovics - Evening News lyrics

The cities are full of criminals And all of them are Black They'll shoot you for your shoes Or to get a little crack But the police are protecting us Locking up these thugs Making us all safer By being tough on d** There was a truck bomb in Baghdad Blew up the UN These fanatics do not have a care For innocent women and men They don't like civilization It's just destruction that they crave There is no rhyme or reason For the way that they behave (Chorus) It's hard to believe But I know it's true I saw it on the evening news There's a war on in Colombia And it's all about c**aine And the FARC is running d** From Mexico to Maine It's an ugly situation But soon it will be whipped We just need to send along More helicopter gunships (Chorus) There was a suicide bomber in Jerusalem Blew himself up on a bus He was a funny-looking m**m Not like one of us He didn't like the Jews And he says that God is great Don't know what his problem is He's just so full of hate (Chorus) Evil men are plotting To blow up Washington, DC 'Cause they don't like freedom And democracy They're fans of the Dark Ages They are all around They're marching from the desert sand And coming to your town (Chorus)
