lyrics

Take a look at the evidence, follow the money spent
We’re not victims of circumstance the fire’s at all our backs
Thievery’s run rampant costs and its ripping the house apart
They call it safety; I call this a bad dream.

Stand up, keep speaking your mind, they can’t get us all if we can shed some light.
Dear lord we’re the Calvary call, we’ll give them hell before they're after us all.

We’re corporate contraband, bar coded our hands
So scan my liberty to see if I comply
And if I’m making waves then toss me to the squids I’m getting heavy.
In my concrete shoes I sure do rock the boat.

Stand up, keep speaking your mind, they can’t get us all if we can shed some light.
Dear lord we’re the Calvary call, we’ll give them hell before they're after us all.
When we hear….

Officer the cuffs are hurting me, I never agreed to this policy.
I know my rights and I respectfully decline, no I’m not standing in line

Over medicated, over stimulated we’re under arrest.
Under educated constant intimidation so we’re under control.

Officer the cuffs are hurting me, I never agreed to this policy.
I know my rights and I respectfully decline, no I’m not standing in line
