seems like last jump had an increase in law enforcement officers.
how nice. i know i for one feel much safer with some of new york's finest aboard.

all i want to do is
my work
anyway
I choose to do it,
all I want is the next line
and the line after
that.

what they do and who they
are and what they want
and what they say and what
they write
has no interest for me
and, unfortunately for
them, no interest to most others
living, dying or about to be
born, uh
huh.

[Taking cop in context to equate roughly with city guardsmen:]

How should they be anything but dirty? Their job is to shore up the existing power structure. They protect the privilege of the moneyed classes. They're incompetent besides -- they've got to turn to independent parties when they want anything really solved, or discovered, or stopped.

Which is it that you had? Money, or connections, or both?
