Lyrics

[Verse 1] Time for a patrol ride Cruiser's sitting outside One-fifth down Wondering how you're still around Missing the babies and Louise New Jersey wind through the leaves [Verse 2] Just waiting for a call Don't you wanna take 'em all? It's a mad frustration There's layoffs at the station Beneath the refinery's glow Out where those great black rivers flow [Chorus] You're the reaper of the madness Can't help but give a damn Don't you wanna stop 'em all? [Verse 3] It's a ten thirty-eight Now it's еarlier than late It's an old-time fastback Riding thе turnpike like a racetrack Ain't no backup Time to pick the slack up [Verse 4] Your blue lights are flashing License, registration He ain't got none Now he's pulling out his gun Thoughts turn to Louise How you'd give them kids a squeeze [Chorus] You're the reaper of the madness Can't help but give a damn Don't you wanna stop 'em all? You're the reaper of the madness Can't help but give a damn Don't you wanna stop 'em all? [Verse 5] Concrete's a cold bed Feels rough on the back of your head Tires are screeching Heart's barely beating Radio out of reach Here comes a sunrise in the east
