lyrics

you ever just been minding your own business, walking in some park after dark, then someone runs up on you and they say ‘you have the right to remain silent. anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. you have the right to remain silent. if you can’t afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense’? the government is my expense. get your fucking hands off me, you don’t need to see my I.D. i’ve got the feeling they don’t give a fuck. ‘to protect and serve’, we’re shit out of luck, shit out of luck. ‘am i being detained? i refuse to speak to you without a lawyer present. why am i being arrested? do you have a warrant? no, then am i free to go? am i free to go?’ fuck off, you’re all just a bunch of cowards. you took an oath to keep the peace, but you’re causing conflict. no one trusts a fucking thing you say, give us one good reason. blue lives don’t matter because blue lives don’t exist. i’ve got the feeling they don’t give a fuck. ‘to protect and serve’ we’re shit out of luck, shit out of luck. know your rights. don’t let them take advantage of naïvety, know your rights. know your rights. no, don’t let them walk all over you like they’re kings, they’re our servants. know your rights. they disproportionately target low-income people of color. we can’t let that happen. know your rights. we have to stand up for our fellow brothers and sisters whenever we see this injustice. know your rights.
