Bill Beare - Hoodies Lyrics

Trouble kinda finds us; it's not what defines us
But life here kinda winds us up and down
We go a little too fast, go a little too far
It's just us, it's who we are
Is what it is bra; can't stop, can't slow down
But hey, we're cool; sometimes we're just fooling around
Not so proud, just hangin' out with a madder crowd
Yeah, we're OK; we're just taking it as it comes around
And it's all about whatever goes down?
In this crazy part of town; and we live here

Hoodies and the so-called goodies
Going at it everyday
Cops 'n' robbers out in the suburbs
With those habits they just can't break
Can't somebody just get on it and turn the page?
Or are the ganglands and the bang bangs
Just playing games

Is what it is bra; can't stop can't slow down

Blue on black, black and blue
Who's attacking who's backing who started it?
God, is it all we'll ever do?
It's the law, it's the gun; it's a war that's never won
Are our wrongs and rights at the core of why it's going on?

We're just doing our job, we do it everyday
Trying to stop the rot, trying to make the place safe
Hey, we don't even live here; we're just travelling the beat
We're not given a choice to forgive here
Just keep the peace and that's all
The law is statutory as the bluing unfolds
And the violence comes naturally as we're doing what we're told
The rivalry and the tribal beat is banging all around
And it's all about what all goes down?
In this crazy part of town; how do they live here?

Hoodies; trouble kinda finds us; but it's not what defines us
But it sometimes reminds us of who we are
Hoodies
