Spies In Rome - La Policia Lyrics

Driving home from my girl's house, like a thousand other times, stopping at the toll booth, only pesos they don't take dimes
My girl's from Ensenada and when it's dark and late, she don't want me driving that road to Tecate
A moonless night, my dog is half-awake, Policia checkpoint, blocking the highway .. ohhhhh
Searchin' my car, Under my seat, Oh he found my knife, Now. My. Heart. Beats!
Dirty puerco why you searchin' me? Is this the only way you can feed your family?
God damn pig, steal my money! I hope one day Love will set you free
There's a feeling you get when they got power over you, and you don't speak the language as well as you want to
Twenty minutes from my door is a whole world away, what can a gringo do when the popo say pay?
I'm emptyin' my pockets, two hands on the hood, he got the nerve to ask if I'm up to no good
He wants two benjamins to make this go away, otherwise I spend the night locked up in TJ
Dirty puerco why you searchin' me? Is this the only way you can feed your family?
God damn pig, steal my money! I hope one day Love will set you free
La mordida, I got nothing, La mordida, modrida
Two hundred pesos was all that I had, he looked in my eyes, shook his head like my dad
Ya, he took that money and he gave me my knife, he whispered some words I remember that night
Amigo, not everyone has all the lovely things while living in rags
Welcome to my country have a cerveza or two, all that I ask is see it through my eyes too
Dirty gringo your eyes are searchin' me, is this the only way you can feed your vanity?
God damn kid, spend your money, I let you go 'cus Love will set us free
Nasty gringo your eyes are searchin' me, Is this the only way ya can feed your vanity?
God damn kid, spend your money, I let you go 'cus Love will set us free
