lyrics

You have been reassigned
To the basement desk
Hand over your gun, hand over your badge, hand over your keys
You can find your paycheck
In the waste basket
Hand over your gun, hand over your badge, hand over your keys

If you want to prove it
Find a camera
Hand over your gun, hand over your badge, hand over your keys
If you want the answer
Wait for the coup d'etat
Hand over your gun, hand over your badge, hand over your keys

There's an implant in her brain
From another place
They've taken her away
Into outer space

If you want to find her
Go to the cancer man
If you want to find her
Smoke him out if you can
If you want to find her
It will come with a fee so
Hand over your gun, hand over your badge, hand over your keys

I only ever wanted you to never have to go that long without some sustenance and nourishment and love
There isn't time enough for you to find your way and make a lasting contribution to the world you are part of

The truth is only ever in the eye of the beholder; it's hard to see the holder when he's shrouded in the smokies
I was twelve and saw the lumens blinding in the eyeball as my sister undid gravity and floated to the spaceship

There's an implant in her brain
From another place
They've taken her away
Into outer space

Hand over your gun, hand over your badge, hand over your car, hand over your keys, hand over your life, hand over your heart
