Cops are out, I run and hide
They're looking for me, and I don't know why
I'm so confused about their plight
You're not safe when you're out at night
You'll have to die to please all of them
The cops will die, there is no choice
For taking the law in their own hands
Who they don't like they'll arrest
The people rise to take their lives
Cops are out, I see what they're up to
They want to create fear. A police state is clear.
They say "oh no, we're here to help"
Who are they joking, do they think we're blind?
As the club hits you, up side your head
I remember when I first went to school
They said, Don't be a joker, don't be a fool
Pledge your allegiance to the red, white and blue
Don't expect your country to do nothin' for you
They said your forefathers loved you
but I only had one
And I watched him die in the heat of the sun
Suckin' up the bullets of a policeman's gun
There was nothin' I could do but stay away
In the U.S.A. you gotta take your chances
If you plan on stayin' free
They call this the land of the living
But they're trying to make a dead man out of me
I remember when I first hit the road
I was runnin' from the lenders of the money I owed
Came to Austin, heard a knock at my door
Crossed another border and I'm runnin' some more
They say they're gonna get me but it ain't happened yet
Burnin' my fingers on my last cigarette
It's time to remember time to forget
Nothin' I could do but get away
I remember all the stories I heard
How a man's supposed to be 'bout as free as a bird
My brother's in prison, my father's dead
Me, I'm tired of living with a price on my head
I wonder if there's a place to be
In the whole wide country for a fella like me
Name's in the paper, face on T.V.
Nothin'I can do but get away
It's like clockwork orange a bit of twenty on one
Breaking heads well that don't sound like much fun
Is that your only way of getting kicks
By breaking heads you can't fix
Do you think you're tough
Because you rip it up
Gotta rip you up
Do yo gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
I've had enough of violence
Just to kill boredom makes no sense
We're not the background for your stupid fights
Get out of the darkness it's time to unite
Do you think you're tough
Because you rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
Gotta rip it up
one of my favorite lyrics ever..the whole album is amazing
late 70's boston group
La Peste
Better Off Dead
Well, well, she started to grin
So I slid it right in and she said
"it feels so good",
and she dragged me off the bed
You'll be better off dead
Hey! Well, alright
Well then your mother came in
She was stinking of gin she said Keep your hands off my daughter
You'll be better off dead
The girl's only thirteen
She ain't never given head
So you better keep your hands off her
Your hands will turn red
You'll be better off dead
Hey! Well, alright.
That's where your father came in
He was stinking of gin she said
Keep your hands off my daughter
You'll be better off dead
The girl's only thirteen
She ain't never given head
So you better keep your hands off her
Your hands will turn red
Dead, dead, dead
(She'll be better off dead)
Dead, dead, dead
(She'll be better off dead) [Reply]
When they broke down the door
and put their guns in the face of your wife and child
and as they pinned you to the floor
did you say "officer, i am not resisting you. " ?
American Justice american dream
is this what ' the other half ' means
half of our lives dissolved in fear
half of our rights they disappear
is our apathy so corrosive
where does the cycle start
hear the sirens screaming out in the distance
hold your family close to your heart
American Justice American Lies
a war of words that I despise
I wish the good cops If they exist
the very best
and a bullet for all the
complications injustice deliberations what's the deal
they fake it, we break it, and take back what they steal
we could rise black and white unbound and make them pay
for every tear, for every fear, defend our yesterdays
when they dropped the bomb on the building to kill a MOVEment
did they care where the rights of the murdered went
police terror in the eyes of the children
police terror in the streets of every town
where's our freedom when the sun goes down
and will the houses that the landlords built keep out the bullet sound
American Justice American Lies
a racist prison
anaesthetized
I wish the good cops If they exist
the very best
and a bullet for all the . . .
so we try
to defend
together
defend our yesterdays , defend our tomorrows
together [Reply]
