NYPD protecting clients who?
In force mob attacking a lone
female cyclist wearing a hoodie?
Watch NYPD baton
strike a protestor hit
on head with baton...
in Oakland at 14th and Broadway?
Bad cops hiding behind shield thugs?
Good citizens you pay their salary?
Sitting on the fence is not
empowerment path to freedom
is self determination not!
Democracy justice equality
will not miracle jump out of hat!
We are the nation people 99%.
Do you want your guaranteed
civil constitutional rights?
Mask your mouths as NYPD
tear gases peaceful protesters;
if your in danger on the side lines?
On the high moral ground we
few will stand unbowed
before NYPD armor guns shields.
Just as ancestors at Lexington
Massachusetts faced an unjust foe.
Faced fears to earn a land of the free.
