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

From a cop who's lying
D#m B
And your rights they swore to protect become a memory
