A boot stamped on your throat Armed to the teeth You, disarmed and unarmored Must pose quite a threat Tanks and armored cars Flatten you on the pavement Just make sure you're up to regulation Only so many rounds per minute What will it take? Nukes in their hands? The burning of bodies? When will we say enough? When they gas you, when they shoot you When they break your bones With rubber, boot, and bat Will you finally understand? Violence starts with or without their permission
