lyrics

Kelly Thomas was 37 when he died the other day [or 2011]. Six fucking cops and excessive force crushed his fucking thorax and broke his face. He had a history of mental illness, didn't matter that the man was homeless. Intimidation through a badge and a a gun. You're not a hero, just a bully with a paycheck, cunt. Badge and a gun; badge and a gun; Fuck you! Choking on blood, broken bones in his face, five days of nothing til he finally passed away. This kind of “justice” is not that uncommon, so much that it's actually becoming a problem. Will you give me this? Can I please see that? Motherfucker, got a warrant for that? Feeling nervous in the USA. Feeling nervous from the NSA. Feeling nervous from the CIA and these god damned cops in this fucked up police state. I'm feeling nervous. So fucking nervous. Another trial swept under the rug, police get charges but they meet them with a shrug. Slap on the wrist with a nice long vacation. Blatant violence met with standing ovation. “Will you give me this? Can you give me that?” Motherfucker, got a warrant for that? A coward, a martyr, a pussy behind your badge and a gun. A coward, a martyr.. badge and a gun; badge and a gun; Fuck you!
