They hide behind the badge, the gun
Whatever they want with no discretion
Discount the words: protect and serve
Becoming a policy of oppression.
I've seen the abuse with my eyes,
Death dealers with no regard of reprise.
Hard to feel there's equality now.
Who's left to heed the call when you're the one who's been gunned down?
Living in a military state, in a false flag paradigm.
You wanna take my rights by demand?
You'll have to pry them from my cold dead hands.
You lie face down, concrete, your teeth
Guilty until you're innocent.
Power abuse, you cry, no use
All of society's indifferent.
Young people shot dead in the streets
Who would fight back against the police?
Knowing there's no escaping it now?
Who's left to stand up for your rights once you've been gunned down?
Living in a military state, in a false flag paradigm.
You wanna take my rights by demand?
You'll have to pry them from my cold dead hands.
With one in the chamber...
I will stand my ground!
