Corrupt Authority

from Take a Stand by Murder State

/

lyrics

We as humans have our rights
But the boys in blue just want to start fights
Peaceful protests need crowd control
The men you arrest get no parole
Beat us down, take away our freedom
Tell me why, you’ve got no reason
You’ve got the gun in your hand
That makes you the bigger man

Don't be so ignorant, they'll attack without hesitation
Evidence is clear there is no wild imagination
Brutal acts of so called protectors of the nation
Power Corrupted innocent souls fuel the hatred of our youth

The don’t want to hurt you at all
But they throw themselves in before there’s even a brawl
Next thing you know, it’s just you and him
You take the hits, you know you can’t win
Their authority’s gotten to their heads
Their code of honour’s nothing but dead
They may “stand on guard for thee”
But those fuckers have corrupt authority

They beat their riot shields in our faces
But it’s about time the beaters swapped places
Let’s kick-start a revolution
United citizens can control a nation
Let’s remold society
Police brutality’s the last thing that we need
Bring the press, we’ll start a global movement
Showcase authority’s disenrollment
