People Vs. The State by The Assistant (band) Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2000

(It's become immeasurable these days)
They plan each move
(Something so large but not seen so much)
We're blind and deaf
(The eyes are on us now the signs tell it all)
Can we make it stop?
(You're here to protect but who will protect us from you?)
Who will protect us from you?

The crime is activism
The crime is culture
The real crime is your violence against them

Justice calls for you to decide
The night falls, who will stay alive?

A gun shot sounds
He'll never walk
Your system has failed
Again and again
Conspiracy fills your heart
My life depends on
Your nothing code of silence
Badge of courage, path of dishonor

When will this end?

There are no witnesses to your deeds
The fear runs throughout the neighborhood

Intimidation
Intimidation, there's your power

This is the structure of authority

They build these walls so they can prosper
And this is what they call justice

You can't stop the pain
(We march in lines all the same)
Do you see their face, know their name?
(And the same way, we fall down)

You can't stop the pain
(We march in a line, afraid to step outside)
Do you see their face, know their name?
(We march in a line, afraid to step outside)
You can't stop the pain
(Where does it stop, this plague that diseases the fight?)
Do you see their face, know their name?
(Where do we draw the line that dictates our rights?)
You can't stop the pain
(Where does it stop, this plague that diseases the fight?)
Do you see their face, know their name?
(Where do we draw the line that dictates our rights?)
