THE UNSUSPECTING
(Written and Composed by Michael Drive)

A man walks into a corner grocery on 5th street
Points his gun at the unsuspecting
Says, “Give me your money, give me it now!
But if you move, I’ll pump you full of lead to the ground!”
With trembling hands, he’s handed a bag-
Of small bills that don’t add up to his mainline price tag
In a fit of rage he puts the barrel in the man’s mouth
Pulls the trigger, and is off with a blood thirsty shout
The unsuspecting, unsuspecting, unsuspecting
The unsuspecting, unsuspecting, unsuspecting…
Next day he rises from his sleep full of hunger
No money for food ‘cause he spent it on dope
So he goes in search for another “unsuspecting”
He eyes a bank, but invades without logic
He saw who pushed the button and he gunned him down
But he got caught this time, now he’s downtown
So the court gives mercy to a still merciless man
Out on parole years later, the victim’s forgotten!
The unsuspecting, unsuspecting, unsuspecting
The unsuspecting, unsuspecting, unsuspecting…
Now he’s out but it hasn’t changed him a bit
He’s still the killer inside and he’ll steal in a minute
That day a corner preacher said, “God can heal ya man -
Just get on your knees and ask forgiveness, he’ll set you free”
But he ignores his way into a store where the money looks good
And this time he’s met by a suspecting man
Who raises a gun but still not quick on the draw
And is gunned down quickly, his face filled with awe
The unsuspecting, unsuspecting, unsuspecting
The unsuspecting, unsuspecting, unsuspecting…
The problem is not… that this man is sick
For he doesn’t fear… punishment
He knows that the system is more on his side:
To protect the guilty so the innocent must die!
This is for the unsuspecting!
