9. Protect and Serve (6:42)
Who makes accountable,
The enforcer of the law?
When he himself is guilty,
Of all that we appall.
He clings tight to the badge,
That grants him lives to control.
Blinded by power,
He sees no wrong in his goals.
Above reproach,
They exalt their immunity.
Power mad man in blue,
Points his pistol right at me.
Exempt from discipline,
Unleashed on the streets,
With no one to monitor,
Their notorious feats.
A question of ethics,
Who's really in control?
The man with the badge,
or the man with the soul.
To protect,
To protect myself from you.
And serve,
Serve me to the man in blue.
To protect,
To protect God-given rights.
And serve,
Serve a vigilante fight.
When crime has run rampant,
All throughout the force.
And unethical indulgence,
Has taken it's course,
A new law will emerge,
And we'll all have a part,
In the decline of the man,
Whose played out his part,
Once you've been pushed too far,
You need only arise,
And gather friend and foe,
And teach them to be wise.
