The Lyrics
All politics is ultimately local. For me, that would be Kansas City, Kansas, or more broadly, the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Any resemblance of your community to the following is a dirty, rotten shame.
Where the bison once roamed
Stands a Section Eight home
And the innocent victims are slain
Loud rap music's heard
And the screech of "F-word"
While the politics drive us insane
Home, home in KC
Drunks stand on the corner to pee
Hear the ambulance wail
While the lowlifes prevail
And a crooked judge sets them all free
A once prosperous store
Will be open no more
Broken windows are covered in wood
Family business succumbs
To shoplifters and bums
That's just life, or it was in the 'hood
Dope, dope in KC
Drug traffickers get off scot-free
Crack addled brains
Turning right from left lanes*
Leave the city immersed in debris
As the public awakes
And the morning news breaks
Another dead body is found
Bullets fly in the street
Virus cannot compete
In putting a corpse in the ground
State, State Line divides
The Kansas from Missouri sides
But in truth we are one
Metro under the gun
With no place to retreat or to hide
Stands a Section Eight home
And the innocent victims are slain
Loud rap music's heard
And the screech of "F-word"
While the politics drive us insane
Home, home in KC
Drunks stand on the corner to pee
Hear the ambulance wail
While the lowlifes prevail
And a crooked judge sets them all free
A once prosperous store
Will be open no more
Broken windows are covered in wood
Family business succumbs
To shoplifters and bums
That's just life, or it was in the 'hood
Dope, dope in KC
Drug traffickers get off scot-free
Crack addled brains
Turning right from left lanes*
Leave the city immersed in debris
As the public awakes
And the morning news breaks
Another dead body is found
Bullets fly in the street
Virus cannot compete
In putting a corpse in the ground
State, State Line divides
The Kansas from Missouri sides
But in truth we are one
Metro under the gun
With no place to retreat or to hide
Happened to me three times in just a few months. I was in the right lane. The driver in the left lane turned right at an intersection, right in front of me. Not unusual at all. It isn't common, but it is legal in Kansas to carry firearms openly. In Kansas City, Missouri, you may carry openly only if you have a concealed carry permit. Otherwise you may only carry concealed. A local attorney is well-known for saying, "It doesn't have to make sense, it's only the law".
