i wanna know what love is

how many girls stay awake all night
too scared to sleep and too scared to fight back
i know you know what i'm talking about
another woman killed and hardly a pout about it

green river killer my fucking ass
the cops have got to be deaf dumba and spastic
to not catch the killer of a hundred women
i guess it would be different if they thought we were human

i wanna know what love is

what the fuck if we all got gun s
to off the fuckin pigs and all the other muthafuckas
raping the childern they paint like dolls
jon benet didn't scream coz she never fuckin was
come on noe the police aren't gonna save you
tehy're part of the problem that society gave you
locking up black men for whistling in the wind
you see a mirage when you call a cop yr friend

i wanna know what love is

the cops and the killers give us special advice
like cross yr legs and act fucking nice
while they kill us off old and fucking young
for breathing, relieveing and having fun
they'll keep you scared so you'll have to have a boyfriend
and tkae yr kids away if yr a la-la-lesbisian
arrest you for whoring then rape you in  the car
it's time we point the finger at who the real criminal are

i wanna know what love is
i want you to show me

so i'll stay awake almost every night
a pen in my hand and in the other one a knife
coz i'd rather be scared and fight back
then be some dick's babe maid or wife

i don't care how we get it but we'll get it some day
i don't care how we get it but we'll get it some day
i don't care how we get it but we'll get it some day
i don't care how we get it but we'll get it some day
i don't care how we get it but we'll get it some day
i don't care how we get it but we'll get it some day
i don't care how we get it but we'll get it some day
i don't care how we get it but we've got to get it someday
