I Will Show You Fear in a Handful of Dust

This type of guy is why I don’t like to buy in parks
The darkness only comforts psychopaths and narcs
But no police would ever be missing so many teeth
So I sat down on the bench all nice to price his merchandise
He said, “The thing about killing cops is it’s easier to start than stop.”
His smile said he was joking but his bloody boots said that he was not

I was like, “All right, I’m just trying to buy some drugs tonight
And buddy you are not the plug
You might be about that thug life but I don’t want to end up in a black site
Or in the back of a black van rolled up in a rug.”

Eight hundred thousand officers seems impossible
Even if you hit the funerals and hospitals
Your vigilante dream won’t get me or the P.D. clean
I’ll risk a fentanyl O.D. but I don’t want the federales to Sentinel drone me
The Patriot Act is wack, sure, but sentences are heftier than they were before
And maybe I’m not that lefty anymore

I was like “All right, I’m just trying to buy some drugs tonight
And buddy you are not the plug
You might be about that thug life but I don’t want to end up in a black site
Or in the back of a black van rolled up in a rug.”
