Sunset On 32nd Street

(アルバム： Change Is A Sound - 2001)

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
We could rise black and white 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

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
We could rise black and white and make them pay
For every tear, for every fear, defend our yesterdays

For 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
We could rise black and white and make them pay
For every tear, for every fear, defend our yesterdays

If we try yeah we try
If we try yeah we try
To defend
Together together
Together together

Defend our yesterdays
Defend our tomorrows
Defend our yesterdays
Defend our tomorrows
Together together
