A boot on your neck

A grin across your teeth

“That’s the way its always been”

Knuckles white and blistered

Spit blood and sweat

As hours turn to regret

A thin veil of freedom hides a scripted existence

Born free until feet touch concrete

Constructed conformity

Lick the heels of castigation

Suppression, a birthright to be

Gagged by a star strangled banner

Piss away autonomy

god lives in the law

and the law lives in us all

god lives in the law

and the law lives in us all

Inherent dominance procures the status quo

So deep beyond the bars

Underneath it live the wretches of consequence

Rattle the cages

(god lives in the law)

god lives in the walls of this broke down palace

Man and god decline

These walls exclude but these walls confine
