about

Rubber bullets, tasers, tear gas, they used to be called "non-lethal" weapons, but now renamed "less lethal" because they still kill on a regular basis. And they’ve got guns too. The problem is the weapon is in the hand of someone all too keen to use it, the police role and the individual who chooses this path, that side, are corrupted by the “power” they are given by the state.

lyrics

power gone to the head, power is a gun to the head

a public servant has left their post, state puppet master now the host
best intentions corrode away, rotten apples feed on the decay
what once had a place, a beat in the heart, changed with a strike and a step apart
militia behind shield and mask, maintain silence to the questions asked

like why you are more likely to get killed by police
than you are to kill the police?

private security like black ops ghosts, chained dogs to who pays the most
arrest intentions, put them away, corrupt the rules to bend your way
chosen your side and playing your part, breaking people an unrefined art
paramilitary faceless line, licenced violence first resort every time

in your hands, weapon of choice, ends the challenge to your failed voice
now always ready to escalate, shoot your way out of a debate

your presence now to intimidate, stuck in this cycle of adverse hate
the threat to conform, your ease to strife, once you accept you can take a like
no complaints will be heard, for you the law will be blurred
the shot, the shock, you control, charged, released, we're all on parole

in your hands, weapon of choice, ends the challenge to your failed voice
now always ready to escalate, shoot your way out of a debate
