BOY SCOUT

When I grew up in my town
Special ops and forces were all around
They don’t need a reason to convict your ass of treason
They’re hunting all the bad guys down
You’ll be locked up in jail
With no horse or hiking trail
You’ll be struck
There’s no doubt
They’ll throw all your pancakes out
When you’re a boy scout
If you leave that neckerchief at home
They don’t care if you can sail or tie a rope
You know it’s getting sadder
When pre-teens are battered
By the guys from DRAYN-oh
You’ll be locked up in jail
With no horse or hiking trail
You’ll be struck
They'll call you out
You're guilty without a doubt
They'll draw blood
Rip you to shreds
Take your virtue and badges
They've got guns
Racist laws too
They'll fire at anyone that moves
They’ll throw all your pancakes out
When you're catching your sea bass or trout
They’re turning on Black brothers again
Aiming at innocents...
And they’ll win

(VIOLIN SOLO)

You’ll be locked up in jail
With no horse or hiking trail 
You’ll be struck
They'll call you out
You're guilty without a doubt 
They'll draw blood
Rip you to shreds
Take your virtue and badges
They've got guns
Racist laws too
They'll fire at anyone that moves
You're a boy scout
You're a boy scout
A boy scout
In America
