someone said to me, "look what you did now."

half a dozen squad cars are breaking up the crowd

and if they stop the show we can't chant no authority

so i shut my mouth and just do what the police tell me.

what the fuck will change?

when all your threats are idle all your dreams are shit

fighting for your rights until you have the chance to do it

a uniform is power they have and you don't

that's why we gotta fight it, but you haven't and you won't

you know you've got the right to say what you believe

you know you've got the right to fight back physically

you know you've got the right to stand up for yourself

you know you've got the right just like everybody else

you know you've got the right, so what are you gonna do about it?
