Pointless Fighting Power When You Are Clearly Outgunned
Fair warning to you
My fellow brethren
As justified as your cause
May well indeed be
If you wish to take
The powers that be on
And state your case
Not only do they have and come
As standard uniform and issue
With a gun and bullets in tow
They also have
Something far more powerful as well
And that comes in the form of a Badge
And if you somehow manage to
Avoid that as well
You will have your day in court
That what which you set out to achieve
They will also then name
The time and place
Court and judge of their own choosing
And after that a jail and cell
To keep you quiet and teach you a lesson
And your likes suppressed as well
Because no one takes on the man and ever wins
No matter and despite how justified your cause
Because the deck is stacked firmly in their favor
And they hold all the cards
And they will simply dismiss you
And treat you as a
Joker
Trying to compete with the
Bad and Ugly
When you are quite clearly outgunned
In every conceivable possible way
Is tantamount to you
Bringing a toothpick
To a gunfight
