lyrics

Customer service is the one packing guns
MK Ultra ultimatums Fs for the placid ones
Take a number, maybe 9, 38 or 45
Log that complaint see what happens as the glory flies
Pledge allegiance to the boot, taste the leather march forth
Blood tides lapping on the murder beach of dark shores
Authority over another is the drug of choice
That and never needing to answer for scams and puppet poise
Body cams on the fritz again, favorite song for sure
Scorpions circling the ramparts, a modern war
Arming them against us, in the name of law and order
Homan Square, Windy City, spin the pain so fraught with torture
7,000 people disappeared and these are citizens
A land of punishment and cages, neighbors and the missing st
That freedom of information act request you made
Got more blacking out than frat parties, guess the trade


What do you when the people making the rules break them
The outrage fades away, famous jewels blazing
What’s the point of knowing the truth when it can only frustrate
The best for the best the rest of us are cut rate
Organ donors, blood sweat and tears, the worker bees
Dog eat dog on pay per view a troupe of circus fleas
They’re taking what they want, we’re footing the entire bill
Fast track that new weapon systems the messiah drill
The reaper sickle steady slicing through the iron willed
There’s not a union past the cops, they won’t try to kill
The long arm of the status quo guardians
Got them thinking that they are their job, foolhardiness
Then again, who pays the bills when the cops murder
The same folk they’re aiming at, us, the observers
And taxpayers, funding weaponry it’s the same war
Blue line stickers on cop cars we paid for

Don’t even Mirandize these days, they owe us no protection
The courts have said as much, look we got the whole collection
DeShaney vs. Winnebago, abusive fathers
Castle Rock vs. Gonzalez, for dads who choose to slaughter
Warren vs. DC., no legal duty to protect
They’re serving us a slogan, while we’re catching the death
Main thing I’m seeing served here is warrants and that status quo
No need to aim, they lack and load, come back to home with grass to mow
Anthony Maclin in his grandma’s driveway
Woke up to 3 cops clapping rounds in a live way
Staten Island home to New York cops and Wu Tang
Courtesy card flashers, Matt Bianchi news ranks
Get out of jail cards for the friends of cops
Seven forty mill in overtime, spending the lot
Blue lines on flag, blue’s the blood of royal fams
Using deadly force if you use the law to spoil plans
