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

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