The Crossing Guard

from The Device by The Device

/

lyrics

Yellow vest, fluorescent, reflective
A stop sign issues directives
He alternates halting and beckoning hands
And traffic obeys his commands

Volunteering the precious minutes of his day
So that the girls and boys might find their way home
And their lives are in his hands
He needed only to pass two exams

And his record is clean
He'll help you across the street
But stay on his good side
It's safety first and civic pride
And what's stashed away on a hidden hard drive
Hard drive

I'm the handyman who cleans the drains
In the cellar, suspicious, I clicked on his business
And I been buried down here since the day before Christmas
The day I discovered his sickness

Beware the crossing guard!
In his leer I see legions...
Who is watching the children?
Steer clear of the crossing guard!
He means to mistreat you.
When will he give in?

And his record is clean
He'll help you across the street
But stay on his good side
It's safety first and civic pride
And what's stashed away on a hidden hard drive
Hard drive

Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Stop.
