Protect and Serve

lyrics

Wake up in the night, you hear footsteps outside
Tell your wife and kids, “stay here and hide”
Door is off its hinges, you see masked men
Here to protect you: it’s your government!

No knock raids
Protect and serve!
No knock raids
Your rights preserved?
No knock raids
Keep you safe from drugs!
No knock raids
Turning cops to thugs! (1)

Don’t need a warrant just a wrong address
Incompetence and malice; your life is a mess
Shoot your dog, handcuff your daughter
Try to protect them and you’ll get slaughtered! (2)

Their music combines aggressive instrumentation with biting sarcasm to rail against those who would oppress the citizenry and exploit the least fortunate.
