They Always Were Monsters Lyrics by Asomniatic

These Minnesota Blues

2021

[Verse 1]
His gun with a clip in
Walkin' sidewalks with a grin
A stranger states, "ain't this a riot?
They're breakin' banks, settin' planks on fire"
Face covered, badge number
Taped over, undercover
Brother tellin' me the limits of protest
Felony, a recipe for open oppression"
Token aggression in the face of
Chessboard fears with mountin' tension
Molehill steered, a mountain's engine
Election year, we found detеntion
With no intervention from opposition
Erase intеnt, raze our position
Deface the racists, face the past
Stays encased in shattered glass
Finger fastened on the pin
Flash grenade, capsaicin
Newest scoop is the youth are looters
Cue the troops like they'll improve this
Civil war that whores injustice
Guns at sons with daughters cuffed, the
Face of Satan "maintains order"
Same federal game that trained for murder
[Chorus]
Watched a lot of movies with some cops on duty
Once was shockin' when they're cruel, but
They always were monsters
Plot gets wild, temp gets hotter when we're riled
Guess who shot into a crowd, cuz
They always were monsters
[Verse 2]
The way now paved in tanks and armor
Trained to say they did not harm us
Celebrities quiet, wealthy nervous
Sell to the web as a riot to curb with
Make-shift cuffs, made of plastic
Phrases stuffed, tasted acid
President stands, right hand, bible
Preachin' disorder, speaks of survival
Knee to his neck, hear George pleadin'
Breathin' slowin', people screamin'
Camera catchin' the gaze of a demon
Who says back up or his team'll beat them
Who could defeat them? unions keep them
On the street, with the heat to delete you
Elite blue complete with body armor
Flee critique and beat back karma
They march now onward, bottles thrown
Launch back rockets, watch with drones
Taunt stay locked in our homes
If not, they're tracin' our phones
I'll never know regret
Like the folks who stood there, witnessed death
A precinct's burning, what's next?
A precinct's burning, the system's left
[Chorus]
Watched a lot of movies with some cops on duty
Once was shockin' when they're cruel, but
They always were monsters
Plot gets wild, temp gets hotter when we're riled
Guess who shot into a crowd, cuz
They always were monsters
Watched a lot of movies with some cops on duty
Once was shockin' when they're cruel, but
Cruel, but- cruel, but-
Plot gets wild, temp gets hotter when we're riled
Guess who shot another child, cuz
They always were monsters
[Outro]
The violence, the anger, and the flames
The violence, the anger, and the flames
Minneapolis
Anger
Anger
Anger
Anger
The anger
