Law and Order (Throughout the Land)
No more law and order. Those words they say it all
Its just one human being denying another of self rule
The police ain't authority, for all they do is serve
The state they do their dirty work to make the people learn
They interrogate, discriminate, smash demos and assault
They sort out all the queers and keep the wogs locked in a vault
And they're here for protection but protection for who?
They all wear the same badge that says fuck you all
Oh yeah! They're here to maintain rights; they're here to keep the peace
They've also got the right to lock up and not release
Any form of rebel, they'll even work against their own
Because they bribe them, very well and they may also get a home
Protect their privilege no matter what the cost
Now you're the piggy in the middle and they couldn't give a toss
They sit back and laugh, yes they laugh at you too
Because they also wear a badge that says 'we use you'
It's just the same old story of a state going wrong
Where possessions matter and people don't
Don't be surprised that we've turned against you
Because if you side with them, it's fuck you too
Its just one human being denying another of self rule
The police ain't authority, for all they do is serve
The state they do their dirty work to make the people learn
They interrogate, discriminate, smash demos and assault
They sort out all the queers and keep the wogs locked in a vault
And they're here for protection but protection for who?
They all wear the same badge that says fuck you all
Oh yeah! They're here to maintain rights; they're here to keep the peace
They've also got the right to lock up and not release
Any form of rebel, they'll even work against their own
Because they bribe them, very well and they may also get a home
Protect their privilege no matter what the cost
Now you're the piggy in the middle and they couldn't give a toss
They sit back and laugh, yes they laugh at you too
Because they also wear a badge that says 'we use you'
It's just the same old story of a state going wrong
Where possessions matter and people don't
Don't be surprised that we've turned against you
Because if you side with them, it's fuck you too
