lyrics

"I've been robbed!"
"You! Thief!"

Call the firemen, not the police
I don't need anymore taken from me
I've been shot! Oh, please...
Call the firemen, not the police
I don't need anymore guns around me

They haunt me every time I breathe the wrong way

When I'm trapped in my house by threats from a meth-head
They just stand there
And the longer they stay, the more I am wasting their time
When my car spins and flips into the highway
They could not care less
They just want me to pay for my crime

When they wear that robot costume
There's a change in their brains
They become a pest, a monster

But even their lingering presence
Is nothing to the ineffable terror of their minions
Those evil, blinding lights

Red and blue on black and white
Brings horrors to my mind
Chills down my spine
A stone in my gut at the briefest sight
Fear at the very thought
Tremors

I've been robbed! Catch those thieves!
But call the firemen, not the police
I don't need anymore taken from me
If I'm shot, will you please
Call the firemen, not the police
I don't need anymore guns around me
