D Bm G
Doing the bidding of rich elite, to build the corporate state
[Chorus]
D
Because you know it just take one wrong look and
A
You'll find yourself in traction
Bm G
From a choke and a fist and a club and boot to the face

Because you know it just takes one false statement
A
From a cop who's lying
Bm G
And your rights they swore to protect become a memory

When they roll out looking for fights, a gang of armed thugs under flashing lights

Daring you to stand up for your rights so they can take your rights away!
[Chorus]

Because you know it just take one wrong look and
A
You'll find yourself in traction

And your rights they swore to protect become a memory

Resistance begets arrest
D Bm G D
Breaking your skull is a red letter day for a sick
