Slaughter On Us Soil

When you have a gun and they don’t 
and you're  a cop, it takes a certain kind of heartless cowardice
to squeeze the trigger
it takes a certain type of racism only prevalent in racist countries

As citizens, we have to take that psychotic, abnormal behavior seriously
Our Public Servants are paid by us, trained by our trainers, take our money, 
the training, the benefits but somewhere within their dark psyches
their humanity and compassion got brain washed and drained out

They think dark people with their hands raised pose a danger
and are not worthy of the benefit of the doubt like they give whites
Fear engineered from an extreme, guilty Caucasian culture mentality 
they believe their guilt gives them the right to kill the dark skins, 
even the innocent

Extreme culture, extreme attitudes says it's OK to shoot 'them' first 
racist gates open to flood their evil with impunity
leaving ordinary citizens doubting the veracity of authority
that castigates the blameless judging them solely by skin color

The yellow haired pudgy cop says, kick ‘em, punch ‘em, throw ‘em out
They don’t belong here. This cop hates immigrants
a swarm of 'migra' descends like Armageddon, 
these people’s only crime was their skin color
and being on our side of the border 

The darker the color of their skin 
The more brutal the violence
The Chiefs along with these 'Public' Servants are wrong
Morally wrong in allowing and encouraging it to happen

A country built on justice and freedom  
means little in a country ruled by men with racist hearts
Racists don’t possess compassion, fairness or justice
It is us and only us that matter, they shout.

So it goes in the land of saintly pseudo beliefs, 
rigged elections, limited citizen health benefits, and big profits
on and on we go in the land of a one-man one-vote Democracy
fighting for our rights, but dying for their revenue

We suffer, they don’t
They profit, we become debtors
We are all Americans, 
but some are more American than others

Lord, will this tribulation ever end? The working man
seems to always be fighting for liberty and against oppression
but still finding it elusive after four hundred years,  
moving only inches from square one

Is this the chance for peace officers to show citizens compassion?
compassion you get from loved ones, not establishment law enforcement 
this is your country too, dark skinned Americans, exercise your voting rights
You're about to lose them

VOTE THE LYING, SPINELESS SCOUNDRELS OUT!
