Slight Of Badge

from Threads by Kingdom

/

lyrics

Life to soul
Life to soul
Gather round and I'll show you how
We place bones
Into a man's
Life and soul
Life and soul
Using only slight of badge
We'll avert your eyes
From truth to lies
Could we have a volunteer?
(Yes, you!)
The woman who lost her children from neglect and abuse
Have you any wild claims to make today?
"Arrest their father"
(Plunge his name to the depths of shame)
"He's a molester"
(Worthier of blame)
"100's my proof"
(Now this should arouse our suspicions)
But we're gonna make it
An inquistion!
In our next act
We'll fabricate evidence
Coerce underage witnesses
Then use a bit of hearsay to convict
He'll never come back from this
ACAB
Now don't try this at home, not that you can
Since we hold down the monopoly on legal violence
Watch in wonder as in the beat of a baton
We leave a criminal laying where once there was none
Feast your eyes on the illusion of justice and law
No, it doesn't exist at all!
A broken home- LIFE
Or fractured bones- SOUL
Or a loss of dignity
It's all in the show!
You've been such a captive audience
So in a grand finale of crooked consequence
We'll charge you all with innocence
And lock you up with the rest of them
