lyrics
Red and blue bright flashing lights
Have never given me any peace of mind
I don't want a one man jury
Deciding that it's my time
"Just be calm do what you're told
Be respectful, know your role"
But you don't know his badge number
Let alone his death toll
Unarmed minority - shoot on sight
Innocent civilian - shoot on sight
Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight
Begging for their lives - shoot on sight
Just like black water in Iraq
Megalomaniacs on the war path
They find any excuse for easy prey
Guilty of being poor or black
An infallible fraternity
Systematic lack of empathy
Investigate themselves and clear all charges
No accountability
Unarmed minority - shoot on sight
Innocent civilian - shoot on sight
Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight
Begging for their lives - shoot on sight
E-mails and texts joking about torture
Canine mauling, abuse, murder
Citizens dying in custody
And they call this law and order
Shot in the back with nowhere to run
Executed on the ground their idea of fun
12 year old with a toy
"I thought I saw a gun"
Unarmed minority - shoot on sight
Innocent civilian - shoot on sight
Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight
Begging for their lives - shoot on sight
Have never given me any peace of mind
I don't want a one man jury
Deciding that it's my time
"Just be calm do what you're told
Be respectful, know your role"
But you don't know his badge number
Let alone his death toll
Unarmed minority - shoot on sight
Innocent civilian - shoot on sight
Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight
Begging for their lives - shoot on sight
Just like black water in Iraq
Megalomaniacs on the war path
They find any excuse for easy prey
Guilty of being poor or black
An infallible fraternity
Systematic lack of empathy
Investigate themselves and clear all charges
No accountability
Unarmed minority - shoot on sight
Innocent civilian - shoot on sight
Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight
Begging for their lives - shoot on sight
E-mails and texts joking about torture
Canine mauling, abuse, murder
Citizens dying in custody
And they call this law and order
Shot in the back with nowhere to run
Executed on the ground their idea of fun
12 year old with a toy
"I thought I saw a gun"
Unarmed minority - shoot on sight
Innocent civilian - shoot on sight
Homeless and handicapped - shoot on sight
Begging for their lives - shoot on sight
