Black Batons Lyrics

They weren't bloodied up by black batons or swallowed up by an angry mob
No, they got fucked up in a goddamn bar
Got into their mama's brand new car and drove on and on...

When the lights go down on an empty boulevard
You get people reliving the critical center start
When walls erode into a crushing water grave
They slip away

They weren't bloodied up by black batons or swallowed up by an angry mob
No, they got fucked up in a goddamn bar
Got into their mama's brand new car and drove on and on...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
