lyrics

Big man with a badge and a gun
Scared for his life
Tonight he'll shoot another kid in the back
Not once but twice

Why stand by
And watch him die
When you could take to the streets
Don't comply
Don't justify
Don't you bow at their feet

You could see the families dressed in black
Thanks to the boys in blue
But you'd rather shut your eyes and
Lick the boot that kicks you

Big man on the beat tonight
And he's got something to prove
Can't solve a crime without a suspect
So he'll settle for you

Last resort
No day in court
Didn't even break the law
It's a war
Often ignored
They wage against us all

You could see the families dressed in black
Thanks to the boys in blue
But you'd rather shut your eyes and
Lick the boot that kicks you

Obey! Obey!
Night sticks and flashing lights
Betray! Betray!
To oppress and brutalize
