lyrics

In the deep dark bowels
Of a building in the city
They’re loading pepperballs
To keep the peace

To serve and protect
They’ll put a knee in your neck

They’re gonna kettle up
All the kids in the street

They’ll bring a gun to 14th and Farnam
They wanna kill 'em just like Gardner
And move on out to California sun

Cause the mayor cries for Elevenworth
And the protestors are tired
And Kleine says the gun is legal
Though the permit was expired
And the captain’s making threats
All while James Scurlock is silent
Gonna go to jail tonight
Cause you were
leaning towards the potential of getting violent

So we can’t defund police
Cause murderers will run free
I know one that you missed
He murdered a man in the streets

And who will you call?
If the police are all retired?
Yes who will ignore the rape kits
If one police officer is fired

Well stothert’s fixed up crossroads
But Wayne’s gonna call that grand jury
Duffy just got arrested
They ain’t booking him in a hurry

Pissing on the floor tonight
But James Scurlock is still silent
There is no running water
You were leaning towards the potential of getting violent

A suspect fit the profile
Better take him down
He’s wearing different clothes
But his skin is the right shade of brown

Now the county’s got a tank
With money for the virus
Defend the fields and shopping malls
But they can’t defeat the fires

Cause it’s gonna all spill over
While James is still so silent
Boys get out your mace tonight
They're leaning towards
The Potential
For getting
Violent
