Sanctioned Violence

Entrenched corruption
Pretorians of greed
Lied to, bought, deceived
Social destruction, system dysfunction
Marginalize the weak

Battered, broken, brought to his knees
Cycle by cycle, we are forced to repeat
Sanctioned violence of false authority
Watching our brothers being killed on the street

Living in fear, no threat to you
Innocent carry the burden of proof
You're not a hero, you're just a killer
You're just a coward with a badge and a gun
