lyrics

Cuz It's always a few bad apples that they claim

never bothering to finish that quote

but then again, maybe that's their point,

cuz they're a corrupt and racist tool



and that's what racist and fascist tend to do,

standing there with a shit eating grin

dangling the silent part in front of you

professing to not be doing anything



and shouting that you are over-reacting

when called out on the shit they are perpetrating

shoot you in the chest for complying

or in the back whatever is convenient to them



throwing a smoke screen of false equivalencies

and arguments conducted in the worst of bad faith

Using language designed to dehumanize,

tryin to make you forget that was a person

with their own hopes, dreams, fears, thoughts and feelings

by referring to them as a thug or criminal

using these terms as racist dog whistles

and it's indicative of societies failure overall



we're supposed to have due process and be equal under the law,

but for the police that means obstruction

and their fucked notion that some are more equal after all



insane levels of brutality with no consequences regularly,

fuck the police, rightfully said for the litany of well documented reasons



with overwhelming evidence

Being no guarantee of a conviction

That being scared and alleged regret

are a valid excuse to kill an innocent human being



now factor in, the constant organized effort of white supremacist terrorists

to become cops and judges, and fuck, that keeps explaining a lot



the sheer overlap in tactics alone

between the police, hate groups, and fascists should clue you into something



and the fucked up fact that we just fucking let them do this shit

conditioned to think that protests don't accomplish a fucking thing,

that we have no options and we can't do anything about it

when this is simply not true, answers are abundant and just lack action from you



nothing said here is remotely new information, and that's entirely the point.

we've all been shown this told this through the news history, activists, art of every medium, and even the FBI



ok ya know that thing about evil triumphing cuz good people did nothing?

This is entirely and exactly because of that.
