about
does police provide any kind of service? well, maybe not the service they want us to think they do.
lyrics
So you’re in the world, well, you’re guilty, you see–
A gang of pigs corner you demanding your ID
They keep asking questions, but you don’t wanna tell
You have nowhere to go, you faithless little serf
They sneak a bag right under your clothes
They set you up and grab you, you’re not free anymore
No matter what you say, no matter what you do,
They get paid with your taxes, but they’re out to punish you
(chorus) Abuse after abuse of alleged authority
Use of excessive force supported by legality
Punishing the people, protecting property
You’re no good to no one - A C A B motherfucker!
Gangsters are packing
Our mouths they shutting
The wealth accumulated on our backs, our suffering
Up with those fists!
We’re loaded and pissed!
The pigs with guns are not gonna be missed!
They beat the shit out of you in and out of the car
And before you know it you find yourself behind bars
They process you and they dump you
And then come the threats and torture to traumatize you
Fluorescent light, no sleep all night
You’re just a rag and they own your ass
After forty hours they kick you out the back
On record and see you later, nobody gives a fuck
(chorus) --
(bridge) they like to call themselves authority
Yet they don’t side with us, but with private property
None of our lives matter, they have impunity
Our collective penalty is brutal inequality

One day you get a citation from the court
A threat sent to your front door says you gotta report
You end up on the stand, as they know you from the shop
So, you’re facing a judge, a domesticated cop
He verbally abuses you so you know who’s in charge
They drain your self esteem with this police montage
All of them agree, no matter what you did
Up next come the jailers, the least human of the pigs
(final chorus)
