Police Song

歌詞

Do you remember the first thing you had to memorize? Was it the Pledge Of Allegiance? A five year old stands for a flag That killed off all the real Americans Do we really like being controlled? (No, no, no) Or are our heads just spinning? More cops, more prisons to bear down on crime and violence But we glamorize violence through televised wars My friend was unjustly beaten by police And broken star brought shame to the 57th precinct And with their power came extortion and corruption And failing to report rapes and hate crimes to make Chicago look safe Tell me is this security? (No, no, no) Or do we need protection from the police? We need to reassess the power vested in authority Social control threatens public safety, do you feel safe? See, I don't know what we're thinking Paying taxes so that we can be controlled Do you know what happens when we start accepting everything we're told? We all fall down And we close our eyes, we pretend not to see Is a crime not a crime when it's committed by police? And we close our eyes, we pretend not to see My friend got beat up by police I had a dream that my whole town had turned into a prison A cop on every corner but I didn't feel too safe Feels like I'm in jail
