Six Weeks
Born to protect and serve the wealthy elite
Like vultures circling, terrorize our streets
Playing god every day with another life
Six weeks of training and a gun
Answer to no one, allowed to hide behind another badge
Keep us in our place to serve the ruling class
State sanctioned murder, take a life in the name of liberty
One day you're cattle, the next day qualified for immunity
Enforcing changing laws, written to limit our strength
The will of autocrats clinging to their seats
Collateral damage in the fight over control
Of an empire with a blackened soul
When they come for me
When they come for you
We build everything they take
Shaped by everything we face
Caught in the middle of a war for more income
Lawyers and millionaires who always put themselves above
Nothing will ever change
Nothing to my name
Pennyless and broke as fuck
There's no digging out of this hole
Left to die in the street
Fading as you step over me
Born to protect and serve the wealthy elite
Like vultures circling, terrorize our streets
Playing god every day with another life
Six weeks of training and a gun
The healthcare worker, the lifelong civil servant
Underpaid teachers, activists with their life on the line
Time for a sea change, rebuild instead of destroy
The voices we need, buried beneath the white noise
Collateral damage in the fight over control
Of an empire with a blackened soul
When they come for me
When they come for you
We build everything they take
Shaped by everything we face
Caught in the middle of a war for more income
Lawyers and millionaires who always put themselves above
They can't jail the revolution
You can't jail the revolution
Like vultures circling, terrorize our streets
Playing god every day with another life
Six weeks of training and a gun
Answer to no one, allowed to hide behind another badge
Keep us in our place to serve the ruling class
State sanctioned murder, take a life in the name of liberty
One day you're cattle, the next day qualified for immunity
Enforcing changing laws, written to limit our strength
The will of autocrats clinging to their seats
Collateral damage in the fight over control
Of an empire with a blackened soul
When they come for me
When they come for you
We build everything they take
Shaped by everything we face
Caught in the middle of a war for more income
Lawyers and millionaires who always put themselves above
Nothing will ever change
Nothing to my name
Pennyless and broke as fuck
There's no digging out of this hole
Left to die in the street
Fading as you step over me
Born to protect and serve the wealthy elite
Like vultures circling, terrorize our streets
Playing god every day with another life
Six weeks of training and a gun
The healthcare worker, the lifelong civil servant
Underpaid teachers, activists with their life on the line
Time for a sea change, rebuild instead of destroy
The voices we need, buried beneath the white noise
Collateral damage in the fight over control
Of an empire with a blackened soul
When they come for me
When they come for you
We build everything they take
Shaped by everything we face
Caught in the middle of a war for more income
Lawyers and millionaires who always put themselves above
They can't jail the revolution
You can't jail the revolution
