Cops

Have a seat on the curb and take off your shoes
We're searching your car and detaining you
And you have no recourse
You really have no voice

Well you can tell me your uncle's a nice guy
He's got fourteen years with a badge
Well I'm sure he's funny at family parties
But institutionalized terror is bigger than that

Where were the cops when my rent got raised
Where were the cops when my friend got raped
Why do the cops break us up every day
For just trying to feed the hungry

Every pig is complicit in violence
They hide behind their blue wall of silence
I'll show you one good cop
6 feet underground

Took a piss on a cop car last night
Yeah it made me feel better
But all the fits we throw wont fix things we know
Because Mike Brown is dead forever

And if you can't imagine
A world without policemen
Please step aside
Because the rest of us have work to do
To end the violence
We know it's time
