Ucd
Tuition cuts and protests at Berkeley
Occupy Wall Street to the East
Late afternoon on a typical Friday
The setting of a brewing disease
Tents erected throughout the East quad
Students together supporting a cause
Legally challenging the fall of a nation but
All she saw was vermin on the lawn (And then she)
Placed a call and baby
You came running
Shine your badge, clean your gun
You are what this country's built upon
Noble, pure, and brave
If they don't know their place
Then they're gonna get it in the face
Thank god you keep us safe
Full riot gear cuz this shit could get messy
Some kid on the ground could pose a serious threat
Ease down on the trigger it can't hurt to be ready
These liberal brats will show some respect!
The line marches in but you do not impress them
They smile and they sing, they hold hands and link arms
The feeling of impotence quickly ignites you
An errant shout sets off the alarm (And then you)
Pulled out a can cuz baby
You had a solution
Shine your badge, clean your gun
You are what this country's built upon
Noble, pure, and brave
If they try to resist
Then they're gonna take one to the chest
Thank god you keep us safe
What does it take to draw the line?
Stand face to face with a 20-year old?
Watch her gasp and beg for air at your hand
Do you think if roles were reversed that she'd understand?
What does it take to push forth blind?
To spray on as the last few fold?
You took an oath to protect and serve, so tell me
Is the badge on your chest worth the death of your soul?
Shine your badge, clean your gun
You are what this country's built upon
Noble, pure, and brave
If they don't know their place
Then they're gonna get it in the face
Thank god you keep us safe
Shine your badge, clean your gun
You are what this country's built upon
Noble, pure, and brave
If they try to resist
Then they're gonna take one to the chest
Thank god you keep us safe
Thank god you keep us safe
