Police State

Sayin' you got the right to remain silent

Seems they got the right, lord, to remain violent

Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late

Or we'll be trapped in a police state

If we don't learn from history

Lord it's bound, bound to repeat

Take a look around ya, what do you see?

A nation buzzing with brutality

Sayin' you got the right to remain silent

Seems they got the right, Lord, to remain violent

Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late

Or we'll be trapped in a police state

Can't ignore the headlines

Citizens getting beat

Can't help but wonder

Who's policing the police?

How does this happen in the land of free?

Got us heated up and mad enough

To protest it in the street

Sayin' you got the right to remain silent

Seems they got the right, Lord, to remain violent

Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late

Or we'll be trapped in a police state

I'm not talkin' bout black

I'm not talkin' bout white

I just wanna do my part to bring the dark

The darkness to the light

I'm not talkin' bout left

Don't wanna hear about right

I'm talkin' bout wrong and right

And the sacrifice of innocent human life

With a right to remain silent

Seems they got the right, Lord, to remain violent

Gotta shake these shackles before it's too late

Or we'll be trapped in a police state

Or we'll be trapped in a police state

Or we'll be trapped in a police state
