Black Stix
You impose your rules on me
Then beat it into my head
You impose your rules on me
Then beat it into my head
Your black stick & silver badge
We're all gonna be dead
Someone gave you authority
To beat in our heads
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
You impose your rules on me
Then beat it into my head
You impose your rules on me
Then beat it into my head
Your black stick & silver badge
We're all gonna be dead
Someone gave you authority
To beat it into our heads
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
This song was written over 35 years ago
And unfortunately, it's still a song
We need to play today
You'd think after all this time
We'd learn to police ourselves
Without killing ourselves
But unfortunately
That time is not now
That day is not today
So we sing this song
For the thousands of lives
Killed at the hands of the police
We sing this song
For the thousands of lives
Abused at the hands of the Police
We sing this song
For the countless lives
Ruined by the hands of the Police
Instead of protecting & serving
They beat you, abuse you
They kill you
With their black stick
And their silver badge
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
Then beat it into my head
You impose your rules on me
Then beat it into my head
Your black stick & silver badge
We're all gonna be dead
Someone gave you authority
To beat in our heads
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
You impose your rules on me
Then beat it into my head
You impose your rules on me
Then beat it into my head
Your black stick & silver badge
We're all gonna be dead
Someone gave you authority
To beat it into our heads
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
This song was written over 35 years ago
And unfortunately, it's still a song
We need to play today
You'd think after all this time
We'd learn to police ourselves
Without killing ourselves
But unfortunately
That time is not now
That day is not today
So we sing this song
For the thousands of lives
Killed at the hands of the police
We sing this song
For the thousands of lives
Abused at the hands of the Police
We sing this song
For the countless lives
Ruined by the hands of the Police
Instead of protecting & serving
They beat you, abuse you
They kill you
With their black stick
And their silver badge
Why, why
We're just human beings
Why, why
Can't we reason
