New Wesminster Taxi Squad Lyrics
There's something going wrong
In this fair county
'Cause on your head they've place
The Strangest bounty
And if you're out tonight
You're gonna wish that you were white
You see that hand in your pocket's
taking much more than your rights
Oh say, Oh my God
you're going to pay for a ride
with the New Wesminster taxi squad
Oh say, I can see
You've got the weight of the world
on your shoulder and it's killing me
Before you take this ride
They'll shake you down
Then leave you broke and hopeless on the furthest side of town
That's a cool cheshire charm
When he say's that never did no harm
They put an itchy trigger finger
At a 1000 false alarms
Oh say, Oh my God
you're going to pay for a ride
with the New Wesminster taxi squad
Oh say, I can see
You've got the weight of the world
on your shoulder and it's killing me
In this fair county
'Cause on your head they've place
The Strangest bounty
And if you're out tonight
You're gonna wish that you were white
You see that hand in your pocket's
taking much more than your rights
you're going to pay for a ride
with the New Wesminster taxi squad
Oh say, I can see
You've got the weight of the world
on your shoulder and it's killing me
They'll shake you down
Then leave you broke and hopeless on the furthest side of town
That's a cool cheshire charm
When he say's that never did no harm
They put an itchy trigger finger
At a 1000 false alarms
you're going to pay for a ride
with the New Wesminster taxi squad
Oh say, I can see
You've got the weight of the world
on your shoulder and it's killing me

This is just such a great song. "Oh say, I can see You've got the weight of the world on your shoulder and it's killing me"
That part is just amazing. I have no idea as to what the entire song means though.
