Atrophy
by d.A. Sebasstian (and KILL SWITCH KLICK)
this time it's all about the real shit
the right to choose you've got to use it
you've got to use your first amendment
we hold these truths to be self-evident
organize against the oppression
confront the state funded aggression
they use the cops as guns for hire
they've pinned us down in the cross-fire
we the people have to be empowered
take a stand or be another coward
the problems strictly economic
the rich get richer as the poor just get sardonic
keep us down with greenback degradation
the crime is poverties humiliation
homeless prescribed discrimination
the time has come for the human liberation
ATROPHY- THIS AINT THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD BE
ATROPHY- BREAK WITH THE SILENT MAJORITY
ATROPHY- THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE
ATROPHY- FALLEN TO COMPLACENCY
the G.O.P. knee deep in the bullshit
land of the free if you can afford it
money hungry habitat destruction
justified in the name of mass production
hazardous waste intoxication
stockpiled for the future generations
the time has come so now you've got to listen
we have to stop the fallout from the system
it's not some kinda question of morality
survival instinct of final fatality
it's time to question all this authority
about it's motives and centralized brutality
they have to answer for their creation
for their ignorance and the death of a nation
welcome to another revolution
provided in the U.S. constitution

Police Story
by ANTI-FLAG
http://users.telerama.com/~antiflag/anti-flag/
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, on 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 fucking day!!!
We've got no rights...
....when cops can kill
It's not right...
....we live in fear
Fear of what you're gonna do, when a cop's talking shit 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...
WHAT A BUNCH OF FUCKIN' SHIT!!!
We've got no rights...
....when cops can kill
It's not right...
....we live in fear
TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTS
- Police State in the USA
by ANTI-FLAG
The Berlin Wall falls in the East
The West claims triumph, "We've really got 'em beat!"
Politicians from the West claim the police state's dead
But what about the police state in the West?
Police state in the USA
It's fascism with a friendly face
Police state in the USA
The government controls everything you do
With the police and the feds watching over you
You try to stand against them and you'll end up dead
As your front door is smashed in by the ATF
Police state in the USA
It's fascism with a friendly face
Police state in the USA
Your television screen shows the feds most wanted
But do you truly know why these men are being hunted?
It's a big brother state it's the same as the East
The cops protect the rich and the corporate elite
Police state in the USA
It's fascism with a friendly face
Police state in the USA
- Fuck Police Brutality
by ANTI-FLAG
A bunch of punks hangin' out on the streets before a show
Patty wagon pulls up -instinct- "Run Man, let's just go!"
Cop chases them through the streets and then they go inside
They run into a show where maybe they can hide
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY! (x4)
He hides just standing in the crowd there's nowhere he can run
The cop comes up behind him and cracks him with a gun
Drags his bloody ass outside and throws him to the ground
"There's nowhere left to take you boy you're already downtown"
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY! (x4)
But the cops can do no wrong
They can kill, they can rape, they can do what they want,
But the cops can do no wrong
We've got to fight, take back the right,
The cops are just like Hitler's Third Reich, do what they want
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY! (x8)

P.I.G.
by the CHILDREN OF REAGAN
http://www.childrenofreagan.com/
P. I. G.
P. I. G.
Get down on your knees and suck my dick
and maybe I'll let you out of this traffic ticket
If you refuse then I'm afraid I'll have to
beat and arrest you
I'll shove my nightstick up your ass
as my buddies watch and laugh
and when we're through
we'll let you go
because no one will believe you
P.I.G. - that spells pig
P.I.G. - that means cop
P.I.G. - fuck the boys in blue
P.I.G. - we're fucking sick of you
So you say that you got raped
well in this state that's not a crime
hey, but if you fuck us all
maybe we'll talk to the offender for you
So you say your innocent
then why do we have hostage with our guns
I'll beat you down to the ground
and piss on you just for fun
P.I.G. - that spells pig
P.I.G. - that means cop
P.I.G. - fuck the boys in blue
P.I.G. - we're fucking sick of you
You say I'm suppose to protect you
that makes me laugh right in your face
I'll beat you until your blue
because I do not like your race
you say I violated you civil rights
so I'll just shoot you in the head
I claim that you had a gun
and hide behind my golden badge
P.I.G. - that spells pig
P.I.G. - that means cop
P.I.G. - fuck the boys in blue
P.I.G. - we're fucking sick of you
P.I.G. - that spells pig
P.I.G. - that means cop
P.I.G. - fuck the boys in blue
P.I.G. - we're fucking sick of you
- Police Truck
By THE DEAD KENNEDYS
Tonight's the night that we got the truck
We're goin' downtown gonna beat up drunks
Your turn to drive I'll bring the beer
It's the late, late shift no one to fear
And ride, ride how we ride
We ride, lowride
It's roundup time where the good whores meet
Gonna drag one screaming off the street
And ride, ride how we ride
Got a black uniform and a silver badge
Playin' cops for real/playin' cops for pay
Let's ride, lowride
Pull down your dress here's a kick in the ass
Let's beat you blue 'til you shit in your pants
Don't move, child got a big black stick
There's six of us babe, so suck on my dick
And ride, ride how we ride
Let's ride, lowride
The left newspapers might whine a bit
But the guys at the station they don't give a shit
Dispatch calls "Are you doin' something wicked?"
"No siree, Jack, we're just givin' tickets"
As we ride, ride, how we ride
Let's ride, lowride

by AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY
http://www.punkbands.com/aaaonline
You want authority
You want a war with me
What motivated you
To reinforce all policy
You want authority
You want a war with me
And any opposition
You suppress for a salary
When I see you I should feel safe
But I don't cause I know how you operate
Policeman (x2)
When I see you I should feel safe
But I don't cause I know just how you take
Advantage - of your position
The answer - is sedition
Don't understand so why don't you clue me in
Cause there must be something that you're missing
Somewhere deep within
You say it keeps me free
I'd have to disagree
We've seen it before
And we'll see it again
You infringe upon the rights
Of those you should defend
- Pigs Will Pay
by PROPAGANDHI
http://www.g7welcomingcommittee.com/propagandhi/
Thought, word and deed once sloganeered, a reaction undefined
The battle-hymn, the mantra of a once unfocused mind
But as logic tempered anger, still inspired but now informed
The 'pigs' we'd turned to caricature became far worse than we'd warned
And you pigs will pay
In a big way
Morality enforcement based on the interests of a state
Coerced into concordance and threatened into place
It's not just isolated incidents of cop- jocks kicking ass
It's a fucking war machine protecting the wealth of the employing class!
And you pigs will pay
In a big way
You'll pay for the guns that you've used
The minorities you've abused
You'll pay for the blood that you've spilled a
And the innocent (or 'guilty', for that matter) people you've killed
- Police Shit
by EXPLOITED
Police lie on oath
It happens all the time
15 years for the Guildford Four
Innocent people send them off to jail
You could be next
CHORUS
Can't trust the police
Can't trust the police at all (x3)
Police shit (x2)
Walking down the high street
With a friend of mine
Got stopped by the police
They asked us where we're from
I wouldn't tell him
Told him to go and get stuffed
He radioed for back up
Then they locked us up
Can't trust the police
Can't trust the police at all (x2)
Police shit (x4)
They lie in court
It happens all the time
15 years for the Guildford Four
Innocent people send them off to jail
Can't trust the police
Can't trust the police at all (x3)
Police shit (x2)Lying bastards - Police Shit (x3)
Lying bastards
Walking down the high street with a friend of mine
Stopped by the police asked us where we're from
I wouldn't tell him told him to go and get stuffed
He called for back up
Can't trust the police at all (x3)
Police Shit (x5)
Don't Step This Way
By MROCKHOLD
Last but not least to you dickheads in blue
Who break your own laws doing what you want to
Society is hip to your muthafuckin' game
Pretty soon shit here is gonna change
Were arming ourselves to protect what's ours
So step up with caution show respect do what's wise
Cause soon as you slip and try to fuck around with me
I'm coming at you strong with my Glock 17
When all is said and done your ass is dead- no surprise
My father always told me dead men tell no lies
So in a court of law it's my word against yours
And since your ass is dead not guilty case closed
