lyrics

They say "not all cops"
How come the killings haven't stopped?

They put brotherhood and loyalty
Above serving the community
More like an occupying military
Not neighborhood police
That's why we gotta get to our feet
It's why we gotta take to the streets
It's why we can't accept defeat
We demand justice and peace

I guess the bad apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Will there ever be accountability?
I guess the bad apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Will we ever see accountability?

Drug addiction's complicated
Let's just kill or incarcerate it
Homelessness is complicated
Let's just kill or incarcerate it
Mental health is complicated
Let's just kill or incarcerate it
Oppression is overrated
Let's try something new

They say "not all cops"
How come the killings haven't stopped?

Who do you think spends all night
Logging onto the forums of the alt-Right?
Swastikas underneath their uniforms
Why go against the grain? It's easier to conform!

I guess the bad apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Will there ever be accountability?
I guess the bad apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Will we ever see accountability?

Racism is complicated
So we won't even debate it
Classism is complicated
So we won't even debate it
History is complicated
But you can't kill or incarcerate it
Oppression is overrated
It's time for something new

They say "not all cops"
How come the killings haven't stopped?
