Can’t Oppress People’s Sanity

Not afraid to pick up a weapon.  
Terrified to find out the truth.    
Not afraid if bad things might happen.    
Terrified when they eventually do.    
    
Walking on a tightrope with an armed missle-launcher.    
Barefoot on ice with a bomb vest on ya.    
Never caught slippin’, now the whole world sees you.    
Stay on your feet, agent orange might turn blue.    
     
Just doing your job was never your job.    
Take a step back and reflect on your badge.      
Turn a peaceful group into an angry mob.    
Spitting image of a sheep on a leash talking trash.      
     
Who are you fighting for? Take out your 20 inch.    
Show us how you love to please this angry orange.    
     
Don’t step back now. Don’t bend the knee pig.      
Quit while you’re ahead has lost all its meaning.    
     
Feeling blue is what the world cut out for you.    
Bending law caused by presidential flaw, makes reasoning an unreasonable thing to do.    
     
How to make it end? How to make it stop?    
How to turn it back to normal when it never was?
