People filled the streets, shouting and waiving signs
This should be telling you something
Pushing back against the thin, blue line
New boots and truncheons
People want, as people will
This should be telling you something
Hold 'em back with a plexiglass shield
New boots and truncheons
...and the streets run red with blood
and the cops all dress in black
and they push and push and push
and I wanna push them back
New boots, jumpsuits for shock troops
This should be telling you something
Bagged-loot, silk suits for rich brutes
New boots and truncheons
Old-time discipline is back again
This should be telling you something
Tell the flock that God is a republican
New boots and truncheons
...and we've nowhere left to run
it's scripted from the start
I don't need bigger guns
To turn their wooden hearts
This should be telling you something
Pushing back against the thin, blue line
New boots and truncheons
People want, as people will
This should be telling you something
Hold 'em back with a plexiglass shield
New boots and truncheons
...and the streets run red with blood
and the cops all dress in black
and they push and push and push
and I wanna push them back
New boots, jumpsuits for shock troops
This should be telling you something
Bagged-loot, silk suits for rich brutes
New boots and truncheons
Old-time discipline is back again
This should be telling you something
Tell the flock that God is a republican
New boots and truncheons
...and we've nowhere left to run
it's scripted from the start
I don't need bigger guns
To turn their wooden hearts
