lyrics

What did you imagine when you took your vows
Did you see yourself a hero, did you make your mother proud
And how would she feel if she saw you today
Putting another unarmed kid in the grave

Is there a war here that we didn't know about
Cops are driving tanks around and shooting unarmed crowds
Can you tell me who you're fighting for, can you tell me who you serve
Can you tell me where the justice is and will you get what you deserve

You took an oath to serve and protect
But all you wanted was to get some respect
When you get upset you need to take it out on others
But your victims are our sisters and brothers

We can’t breath with your foot on our chest
But when we cry out for help, you scream resisting arrest
I can’t believe it still in this day and age
But the more things change the more they stay the same

Who will protect us, from you

You took an oath to serve and protect
But all you wanted was to get some respect
When you get upset you need to take it out on others
But your victims are our sisters and brothers

You go to war
You go to war
You go to war and fight

You go to war
You go to war
I hear your battle cry

You hold a badge
You point a gun
You take a life and lie
But live by the sword and that's how you’re gonna die

You took an oath, so serve and protect
Cuz that badge alone can't help you buy respect
If you get upset you don't need to take it out on others
Cuz your victims are our sisters and our brothers

You go to war
You go to war
You go to war and fight

You go to war
You go to war
I hear your battle cry

You hold a badge
You point a gun
You take a life and lie
But live by the sword and that's how you’re gonna die
