God knows we won't be saved I got shot in LA I can only hear the sound of Of the helicopter blades In my head the world is calm and all is still Hello it's me on the line Calling from the 405 I'm calling up to sky Am I stuck now? So look I'm gonna be late You know traffic in LA I got held up on the way I got gunned down God knows we won't be saved I got shot in LA The only image I can see now Is the beating of a king It's the scene that brought us all here The ones that took to the streets Oh why's it gotta be me? But then I started to think When I touched ground They didn't do this to me It was the LA police That had me there on my knees To get gunned down God knows we won't be saved I got shot in LA
