Give Back

You've got something that is mine

This is where i draw the line

I've had it with your petty shit

That badge and gun they

        don't

             mean

                     spit

You've had your fun now set him free

Give back what belongs to me

You just want to see me cower

While you keep on

        abusing

                your

                      power

I won't play your twisted game

Give you nothing not even my name

You think you are above us all

But the brain in your head is

          very

                very

                      small

Do not pass go, do not collect

That's our fate for not joining your sect

Civilians, you say with a jeer

Who are you to decide

          what

                we

                     fear?

Freedom should not be yours to take

When someone like me

          makes

                 a

                    mistake

Did someone else get hurt by my error?

No? Still you inflict your terror

Judges, lawyers, monsters of the court

We all know that to

          bribery

                  they

                        resort

Based on money they decide our fate

Innocents jailed at an alarming rate

Give us back what belongs to us

We'll soon decide what for

          you

                is

                   just

Make no mistake, your time is coming

The very people you

         think

                 you're

                          dumming

We aren't so easily manipulated

We're starting to notice that

         you

                are

                    overrated

Soon enough your game will be through

Then we will decide what we can

         take

               from

                      you
