Police Song

<br>do you remember the first thing you had to memorize?<br>was it the pledge of allegiance?<br>a five year old stands for a flag that killed off all the real americans<br>do we really like being controlled or are our heads just spinning?<br>more cops more prisons to bear down on crime and violence<br>yet we glamorize violence through televised wars<br>my friend was unjustly beaten by the police<br>and broken star brought shame to the 57th precinct<br>and with their power came extortion and corruption<br>and failing to report rape and hatecrimes to make chicago look safe<br>tell me is this secrutiy, do we need protection from the police?<br>we need to reassess the power vested in authority<br>and social control threatens public safety do you feel safe?<br>see, i don`t know what we`re thinking<br>paying taxes so that we can be controlled<br>do you know what happens<br>when we start accepting everything that we`ve been told?<br>we all fall down and we close our eyes and pretend not to see<br>but why is a crime not a crime when it`s committed by police?<br>we close our eyes and pretend not to see<br>but my friend got beat up by police<br>i had a dream that my whole town had turned into a prison<br>a cop on every corner but i don`t feel too safe<br>feels like i`m in jail
