lyrics

tra la la la we trapped in limbo hands in air and legs akimbo
how low low low low can we go down to the ground like a cop-shot negro
such a sad story look at Mama now cry and rant and tear her hair out
I swear it's open season on that color of kid
we should be so ashamed we're still letting them do this

a little squeak of protest over G D C
just to remind you to think twice before you trust police
they're not your friends, not there to help
just there to protect wealth,
and their savagery
is only the outward symptom of a deep and old disease
