First Responder-Villagers

I curse the weather while you make the raincoat You make the tough calls while I play the scapegoat I let it fester and bury it deep Gather my people and huddle like sheep But all the while, on the wings of an oath A first responder is serving us both I aim my pistol while you aim at brilliance I learn of injury while you learn resilience Cursing the cook for a piece of the pie Playing it blind ’til we see eye to eye But all the while, on the wings of an oath A first responder is serving us both Now I’m twisting your words beyond recognition Shifting your post to suit my position Spending my days cursing disparity While you make the money and give to charity But all the while, on the wings of an oath A first responder is serving us both He enters the fray so softly spoken A working piece of a system that’s broken
