Authority Misuse Lyrics by Escape from the ZOO

KILLACOPTER

0

Tight fist knocks on my door
I’m not waking up its not time to start anymore
Must be unjust cuz I won't respond
So break my fucking window and throw me in the tank til’
Temper is no rhyme or reason for a false arrest
My sharp tongue puts this notion to the test
Maybe none of us know what it means to live
Lock me in the cell until my body goes stiff
Corruption and hate fills their empty minds
While looking for something that they’ll never find
I’ll tell tales of authority misuse
Killing the lower class with their power and abuse
[?]
Just driving down the street
Pullin us over, no probable cause [?]
Put up their hands
?even if you don't have anything
Yeah nothing but a self-subsistent claim
?or shame
99% of why the cops go so far
Are drugs and guns and the sticker on a car
Corruption and hate fills their empty minds
While looking for something that they’ll never find
I’ll tell tales of authority misuse
Killing the lower class with their power and abuse
It you’re looking for help don’t turn to police
You’ll be the guilty one for your thoughts and beliefs
The biggest mistake that a sycophant could make
Is trusting the authorities of the church and the state
It you’re looking for help don’t turn to police
You’ll be the guilty one for your thoughts and beliefs
The biggest mistake that a sycophant could make
Is trusting the authorities of the church and the state
Don’t trust authority
Don’t trust authority
Don’t trust anyone, don’t trust police
Don’t trust authority
Don’t trust authority
Don’t trust anyone, don’t trust police
Corruption and greed fills their empty minds
While looking for something that they’ll never find
I’ll tell tales of authority misuse
Killing the lower class with their power and abuse
