Mr. Vigilante

Well, here comes mr. Vigilante
With his dog on a leash and his phone for a weapon
Mr. Vigilante thinks he’s got the right
Pretending to fight crime, he comes-a-threatening

So here comes mr. Vigilante
Follows me around, and I can hear
mr. Vigilante’s footsteps behind me
He dreams of being a cop, allowed to instill fear

Now mr. Vigilante’s starts-a-calling
“What were you pasting at that lamp post over there?”
Mr. Vigilante hates to be ignored
Believes I should answer, tries to give me a scare

REFR.
Who do you think you are, mr. Vigilante?
A hero in the mirror – A bully with an attitude!
Who do you think you are, mr. Vigilante?
The vengeance of the white man – You’re just a spiteful dude!

So here comes mr. Vigilante
Thinks he’s got the right to try to push me to the ground
Mr. Vigilante thinks he’ll be applauded
People are watching, they dare not make a sound

Afraid of mr. Vigilante
With his posture and his camera, really, he’s a poser
Mr. Vigilante, the poor lonesome cowboy
Every step he takes he’s sure he’s getting closer

Mr. Vigilante is crying for law and order
But he’s just a bored fascist roaming the street
Mr. Vigilante is guarding his own little border
It’s such a sacrifice, but he’s sure he’s what we need

REFR.
