The Pope Of Chili-town Lyrics - Broadways

stormy seas closing in american society will never be the same again 

do you remember what it means to be free? 

do you remember when theft was the only threat to private property? 

now the cops are stormtroopers on parade 

swat team nazi repo men machine guns and grenades 

martial law is coming in time the seizure of your home? 

they need not charge you with a crime, how can an american feel safe 

when police authority runs virtually unchecked? 

and how can a human being ignore legislation that signals 

the cops declaring war on the private citizen? 

there is a bill being discussed right now 

that would bring the army into the interior of our country 

and do you know where we'd be then? 

our every move observed by uniformed militia men 

machine guns on every corner and unbridled state of martial law 

it's just a little too late to write your congressman 

justice for and by the people is long gone 

and you can smile dumbly about the rights that you still have 

but you're living in a dream 

just keep your tv watching jenny jones 

your fridge filled up with beer 

and you'll n ever even hear your neighbor's scream 

until it's you 

until it's you
