Lyrics
Find another songPlease calm down with all the violent rhetoric. Some
people who put on a badge are just trying to help people-
-just trying to do some good. My dad, mom, uncle, aunt,
brother, sister, son, daughter is a cop. I don't want to
hear another word about bribery. I don't want to hear
about racial profiling, broken bones, or prison rape--or
another unarmed kid filled from head to toe with fifty
government-issued bullets. There is a fundamental flaw in
your desire. There is a psychological deficiency in
policing others. Those who maintain a structure of unjust
laws, those who bow to the province of the few, those who
would coerce others under the implicit threat of violent
subjugation--your reign is at an end. When they attack in
the name of the law, we will retaliate in the name of
liberty.
