Anti-Flag Police Story Lyrics

A black man driving down the street one day
Pulled over by racist boys in blue in Brentwood, PA
There's no real reason, they don't have any right
It's just that in their eyes he's not the correct shade of white...
Driving in a neighborhood that's reigned by whites
Ain't healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy life
All those cops they walked off free, but him he's in a grave
His name is Johnny Gammage, one of thousands they have slain

We've got no rights
when cops can kill
It's not right
we live in fear

Patrol man cruising in his car at night
Just looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fight
Pulled over 3 kids in a total rage
Next thing you know there's bodies all over the place
His back up came & they're all acting tough
3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubs
The cops they did it just cause those kids color and their age
They say that's not the truth but this happens EVERY f___ING DAY!!

We've got no right
when cops can kill
It's not right
we live in fear

Fear of what you're gonna do, when a cop's talking s___ to you
Fear of what you're gonna say, when the cops come gunning your way
Fear of what you shouldn't do, when the cops try to provoke you
Fear that on any given day, the cops should take your life away...

They say they're here
to keep the peace...
They say they're here
to keep the peace...
They say they're here
to keep the peace...
They say they're here
to keep the peace...
They say they're here
to keep the peace...
They say they're here
to keep the peace...
THEY SAY THEY'RE HERE TO KEEP THE PEACE...

WHAT A BUNCHA f___IN s___!!!!!!

We've got no rights
when cops can kill
It's not right
we live in fear

We've got no rights(we've got no rights)
It's not right(no it's not right)
We've got no rights(we've got no rights)

It's not right
TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTS!!!
