Meat Wagon's Coming Down

[Verse 1] East 14th Street, busy night in East Oakland Red and blue lights painting the bodega wall Paramedics rolling up, no time for the drama Picking up the bodies from them hit-and-runs, that’s all (Upright bass walks the low end heavy; guitar scratches punk-style under the vocals. Light güiro scrape for tension.)[Refrain] It’s coming down The meat wagon’s coming down [Verse 2] Guy’s twisted like a pretzel on the cold concrete They gotta log-roll him slow, one-two-three, hold tight Gotta get him over to Highland Hospital quick Before the clock runs out on another Friday night Chorus – It’s coming down, meat wagon’s coming down It’s coming down, meat wagon’s coming down It’s coming down, meat wagon’s coming down It’s coming down, meat wagon’s coming down It’s coming down The meat wagon’s coming down (coming down) It’s coming down (coming down) [Verse 3] You lie on the pavement, they slam them double doors Blue rubber gloves snapping on, no time for goodbyes He’s gone in the back with the lights still spinning Another body headed down that East Oakland ride Chorus – It’s coming down, meat wagon’s coming down It’s coming down, meat wagon’s coming down ¡Ay no! It’s coming down, meat wagon’s coming down
