Cop gonna shoot his gun
Ain’t gonna let us have no fun
Gonna get a good night’s sleep
Not gonna face the gates he keeps
Wake up in the morning with a wife by his side
Safe and feeling warm, fetch the paper, tie his tie
Reinforcing images that mask the real crime
“You get yours, ‘cause I got mine”
Cop gonna escalate
Cop gonna wanna blame it on fate
Gonna wanna use some force
Gonna make sure we’re all on course
Never color outside the lines
Never take the burden outta nine to five
Feelin’ the weight of a soul on fire
“You get yours, ‘cause I got mine”
Wake up in the morning with a wife by his side
Safe and feeling warm, fetch the paper, tie his tie
Reinforcing images that mask the real crime
“You get yours, ‘cause I got mine”

Power to the people
You know we’re not the few
You’re always there when I’m in need
So I’ll be there for you
Take power from the bureaucrats
Who masquerade the night
Can’t control the demons that
Wanna give us a fright
We can change the world for the better
Don’t have to simply stop the machinery from cooking us up
We can make a brighter place
I can save you like you’ve saved me, too, now
We can change the world for the better
Don’t have to simply stop the machinery from cooking us up
We can make a brighter place
I can save you like you’ve saved me, too, now

A true believer as I see it
Walks around without a name
Forced to find the fire within
Gives up a life of outer fame
Our imaginations
Build a righteous man
But every affectation
Adorns without a plan
Young man in a cell
Facing 2 years and first a trial
I still believe his message
At least for a little while
What’s the point of being me
If I can’t do it with my friends?
What’s the point of being you
If you let ‘em take us to a bitter end?
Young man in a cell
Facing 2 years and first a trial
I still believe his message
At least for a little while
Young man in a cell
Facing 2 years and first a trial
I still believe his message
At least for a little while

One great world we don’t want to share
With bullies, brazen, self-satisfied
Saving the target for the ones above
We won’t have to run and hide from
Only time and place
To feel every high and low
but the best of these comes naturally
and never with a runway show
What do you think of this?
What do you think of that?
What do you think of this?
What do you think of this?
What do you think of that?
What do you think of
Borders in disguise
Gotta keep the faith to win the prize
Tearing through the wire, I can’t sleep
I’m never going to sleep
Borders in disguise
But will the righteous ever realize
They’re cutting through the wire, they won’t sleep
They’re never going to sleep
Borders in disguise
But we don’t have to build a world on lies
Swimming to you across the ocean blue
Borders in disguise
Gotta keep the faith to win the prize
Tearing through the wire, I can’t sleep
I’m never going to sleep
