Stampin` Ground - Officer Down слова песни
When reason dies behind closed doorsFace down in a cell in a pool of pissIt`s time to fear what we should respectIt`s time to question cause and effectStriking with impunityHiding behind flags of immunityWhen corruption rears its ugly headThe force of law becomes a farcePersonal ambition usurps justiceThe rich protected at the expense of the poorWould you sit on the fence, take no chance?As those batons fall, turn a blind eyeIn an ideal worldThere`d be no need for lawNo need for policeBut in a society so sickSo obsessed with blind greedSomeone has to protectThe old and the weakOfficer downCan we really afford to be so selectively blind?If we dig too deep what would we find?At authority`s heart beats a dollar signUnder such a regime we`re all doing timeStriking with impunityHiding behind flags of immunityNever say, you weren`t warnedWhen they come to drag you awayTo silence the dissident hiding in us allThey clench the fist of ordained mightFrom which side of the barbed wireDo you want to see your life pass by?When reason dies behind closed doorsFace down in a cell in a pool of pissIt`s time to fear what we should respectIt`s time to questionCause and effectWho teaches the teachers?Who makes laws for lawmakers?When they read us our rightsWhat about human rights?
