about

Album: Take No Orders
2022

lyrics

Out on the street they’re throwing bricks – at cops
And journalists are all over the place – just to do their jobs
Reporting about the so called violence – filming all the faces
And they ignore the cops are beating – there will be no traces

Refr.
The news won’t tell you – who started the fight
But they’ll decide who set alight
the police station that burned down
in the middle of the night

Out on the street there always will be – more revolt
by kids that are sick and tired – of the racist chokehold
Now who is criminal – who had justice on their side?
Now what is the story – to once again be told?

Refr.
The news won’t tell you – who started the fight
But they’ll decide who set alight
the police station that burned down
in the middle of the night

Out on the street the cops carry weapons – to shoot you in the back
And when you take to the streets – your boss gives you the sack
‘cause in the news it says – you’re a rioter and a looter
and those supporters oh so righteous – they say goodbye and pack

Refr.
Now that the state is burning,
all the backs are turning
Now that the state is burning,
all the backs are turning

Now here is a lesson to learn – some will tell you to turn the other cheek
But there is nothing to be earned – from pacifism so meek
The best defense is to attack – the state and it’s soldiers
Solidarity .. means more than just to speak

Refr.
The news won’t tell you – who started the fight
But they’ll decide who set alight
the police station that burned down
in the middle of the night

But still the state is burning
The tables will be turning
