Chief of Police in Chicago

from Doug Burr - O Ye Devastator by Spune

/

about

Taken from the forthcoming Doug Burr record, O Ye Devastator.

"One of the most criminally overlooked performers working in the state, never mind North Texas." - Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Paste Magazine Claimed Burr a 'Top 4 to Watch'. - "Exquisitely detailed, slow and deliberate"

"Burr evokes distinctive voices such as Wilco's Jeff Tweedy or Red House Painters' Mark Kozelek. These warm, inviting compositions are effortlessly beautiful."- Ft. Worth Weekly

"Doug Burr delivers enough heartbreak to drive you to the edge of the bridge, and just enough hope to keep you from jumping. Rugged and pristine, this is music that gets under your skin and goes straight for the heart like a shot of morphine." - Real Roots Cafe, Holland

"Burr shares an intrinsic knowledge of song dynamics with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, and has a voice that tugs at the heart strings. Brilliant! " - Americana UK

lyrics

We got a double-positive confirm today
I am Chief of Police in Chicago
And I've called you here just to congratulate
And apologize for the sorrow
We understand he's doing everything that children do
We are getting good at fighting crime
And we don't want to rain upon this dream come true
Or dissuade you from towing the line

Chorus:
I am Chief of Police in Chicago
And I have seen the thing you cannot see
And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you
We've discovered the gene

Maybe we could send you our best officer
There are some tricks to curb the appetite
Hey, we're not in the business of changing futures, Ma'am
But we think we could help him do less time
Now just a few experts are going to tell you that it's not too late
They don't pay me enough to make that call
And you won't find them working down at the District anyway
Hell, all these killers have to learn to crawl

Chorus:
I am Chief of Police in Chicago
Oh, I have seen the thing you cannot see
And my team and I are just a little shaken
We've discovered the gene

We got a double-positive confirm today
I am Chief of Police in Chicago
