lyrics

Another supposed member
Of the working class.

Except that this one’s been given
A gun. A badge.

And if you’re not careful,
They will play god.

Then they’ll figure a reason.
Your past. Your fault.

Surprise: Direct ties
Between the badge and fascist past.

Two ends of the same rope.
You can’t tell the difference.

They’ll stop at nothing
To protect and serve their own.
They say they work for us,
But they want to shoot us down.

Surprise: Bold lies
When they vow to help the streets.

These executive henchmen
Collect payment for the elite.

They’ll stop at nothing
To protect and serve the rich.
They say they work for us,
But they’d sooner leave us dead in a ditch.

Jerk their strings,
Those petty bastards.

They are marionettes
Whether or not we are the masters.

Remind them everyday.
Jerk their strings.
