Sunset On 32nd Lyrics - Strike Anywhere

When they broke down the door 

and put their guns in the face of your wife and child 

and as they pinned you to the floor 

did you say "officer, i am not resisting you."? 

American Justice american dream 

is this what ' the other half ' means 

half of our lives dissolved in fear 

half of our rights they disappear 

is our apathy so corrosive 

where does the cycle start 

hear the sirens screaming out in the distance 

hold your family close to your heart 

American Justice American Lies 

a war of words that I despise 

I wish the good cops If they exist 

the very best 

and a bullet for all the 

complications injustice deliberations what's the deal 

they fake it, we break it, and take back what they steal 

we could rise black and white unbound and make them pay 

for every tear, for every fear, defend our yesterdays 

when they dropped the bomb on the building to kill a MOVEment 

did they care where the rights of the murdered went 

police terror in the eyes of the children 

police terror in the streets of every town 

where's our freedom when the sun goes down 

and will the houses that the landlords built keep out the bullet sound 

American Justice American Lies 

a racist prison 

anaesthetized 

I wish the good cops If they exist 

the very best 

and a bullet for all the . . . 

so we try 

to defend 

together 

defend our yesterdays , defend our tomorrows 

together
