status quo

they’re at it again
the fucking pigs
grinding down
stopping searching
move on order
goods in custody
and their favourite
possession with intent

must be the end of the month
they got to make up their numbers
bloody stupid policy
if there’s no crime
there’s no crime
how can you
KPI a policeman?

always the same folks though
who cop it hard
those most in need
who don’t have a roof
they can hide under
or a door to close behind
like the pollies and celebs
who are racking hard
and rolling in cash and smack

why do my friends have to
pay for the sins of the rich as well
they are already over burdened
just trying to survive
and eat maybe once a day
while numbing the pain they’ve carried
all their lives

open your eyes people of the world
to the injustice all around
the media sells lies
to sensationalise
and the government tells myths
to cover their own arses
and keep the wolves at bay
but we wolves must rise
and stand up for our
brothers and sisters

we will not accept this status quo
any longer.
