File Under "adult Urban Contemporary" Lyrics - Singles - Dillinger Four

watch them laugh unashamed 

when they tear your rights away 

they're counting on your silence 

broken down by the weight 

of the climate they create 

psychological violence 

and it's all for one 

and none for us 

just pretend you don't see it 

try to blame only one 

but accept that we've become a system that feeds it 

we're taken a beating 

the crooked arm of the law 

authority over-reaching 

dignity crushed in its claws 

take a look around won't be long before you found 

blatant intimidation 

at the hand of a few 

decorated all in blue 

the suppress the accusations 

keep your head bowed down 

and don't look back 

keep your hands in your pockets 

people have died for less than that 

made one wrong move 

they got it in the back 

the moment of outrage 

matter not in the least 

a little slap upon the wrist 

welcome to the belly of the beast
