[Verse One]<br />
The police came and took my name and put me in a squad car<br />
I told them kid that's my name and what I got was locked up<br />
Pulled me in and punched me out and said I need a doctor<br />
And stamped a paper to make proof not in my favor<br />
I'm Ritchie rich I should have said my father is a lawyer<br />
Cross the t's and dot the I's - I'm sorry to bore you<br />
Didn't I couldn't I Shouldn't I warn you<br />
The game you fool the jokes on you<br />
Not involved, dragged and tossed outside the club<br />
Wrong place and wrong time a fucked situation<br />
Bugged eyes picked up like a puppet on a string<br />
It happened so fast but with me it was slow motion<br />
Police were called in and all in all you were the victim<br />
Reports were made false alarm<br />
Call the cops on the cops and get their badge numbers<br />
All I did was wave and smile<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
I see gross thinks it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
I see gross things it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
<br />
[Verse Two]<br />
The FBI took me and asked me some questions<br />
I kept quiet they said got caught red-handed<br />
Knocked me down kicked me in and beat me with a phone book<br />
Took my picture, stripped searched, put me in due process<br />
Busted teeth I can't breath then I got was ten years<br />
Headline news you wanna read society has been saved<br />
Next week a massacre CNN describes<br />
Thanks to bad news they can keep their jobs<br />
The killer was mistaken was the top story hype<br />
The problem never happened and the commercial gets the spot<br />
Cause it's not about the story - the product paid shot<br />
Keep your eyes on the TV and the business make the mark<br />
With top new stories Coke can sell their pop<br />
I've heard it all and it's not about war<br />
I'm Tom Brokaw the stories for tonight<br />
Ten died, car crash we'll be right back<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
I see gross thinks it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
I see gross things it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
I see gross thinks it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
I see gross things it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
<br />
[Bridge]<br />
A mistake no fire in the first place.<br />
A mistake no fire in the first place.<br />
A mistake no fire in the first place.<br />
A mistake no fire in the first place.<br />
<br />
[Verse Three]<br />
I'm sick of the shootings stop pointing your fingers<br />
Point your finger to the shooter yourself<br />
I'm sick of the shootings stop pulling the trigger<br />
And hiding behind others to get away with it<br />
Stop testing your limits your limits to something<br />
I'm sick to my stomach. I'm sick to my stomach<br />
I'm sick of the fighting cease to do nothing<br />
Your part of the evil that is feeding this fire<br />
What about the people that are part of this cuss<br />
If I was to point fingers I'm part of the fuss<br />
Stick out your middle finger your part of the buzz<br />
Flip it for no reason, whatever or just because<br />
I stay focused the more I focus<br />
I see ashtrays behind the scenes<br />
I dropped my eyes sometimes<br />
All I did was the peace sign<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
I see gross thinks it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
I see gross things it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
I see gross thinks it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between<br />
I see gross things it's never what it seems<br />
Deal with these things stick out in-between</
