Lyrics

Another restless night here in middle class suburbia. everything's alright nothing ever happens 'round here. no one ever fights, gunshots I've never heard one. in a town painted so white, the cops are all you'll fear. respect is gone, you've lost our trust
'Cause we know what you're up to
Serving and protecting us
But who the hell's policing you?
With your cracker jack authority
Beating on minorities
I want to know what makes you think that you've got the right
Haven't you anything better to do?
I pay my taxes too
I can't believe I'm paying you
The system's fucking screwed
When you... see me... do you.. think that... I'll just... stand by..
I won't... fight back
Black leather boots, reflective shades
Silver bands upon your chest
Broad shouldered walk and stoic face
Who are you trying to impress?
The uniform don't bother me
It's your attitude I can't digest
Second grade school yard bully
Inferiority complex
When you, see me, do you, see what
I see, do you- see the reflection of a man
A man that takes more than he gives
And he'll never understand that this is how we want to live
Exerting force because3 he can
Governing with an iron fist
But when your right sticks in my hands
It's my ass that you'll kiss
It's your ass that I'll kick
Another friday night
The kids are all about to riot
Nothings ever quiet 'cause we're all fed up around here
