Watch them laugh unashamed

When they fear your rights away

They're counting on your silence

Broken down by weight

Of the climate they create

Psychological Violence

And it's all for one

And none for us

Just pretend you don't see it

Try to blame only one

But accept that we've become

A system that feeds it
We've taken a beating

The crooked arm of the law

Authority overreaching

Dignity crushed in its claws
Take a look around

Won't be long before you found

Blatant intimidation

At the hands of a few

Decorated all in blue

They suppress the accusations

Keep your head bowed down

And don't look back

Keep your hands in your pockets

People have died for less than that

Made one wrong move

They got it in the back
The moment of outrage

Matters not in the least

A little slap on the wrist

Welcome to the belly of the beast
Little men with little minds

Little roles that they define

These things are connected

Trust them with power

Without thinking twice

Every man has got a price

Do you feel protected?

The chance is too much to resist

To hold another under your fist

I'd like to believe that

Each time another's lost

Something is gained

The blue becomes a

Reddish stain

And we are reminded

Of who they really are
