lyrics

Clutching their banners and shouting
With fists in the air and their backs to the wall
They come down with batons and shields as they grab you by the hair
Push down your face to the floor
Is this what democracy looks like?
Challenge but you'll never win the fight
Know the moment you question their right
They will try to drag you out of sight
Singing

System of brutality
Question their authority

Can you remember the words that we swallowed
The truths that were sold for their pay
Seems like the platforms are broken
The bastards are turning
Our campus into a police state
Is this what democracy looks like?
Challenge but you'll never win the fight
Know the moment you question their right
They will try to drag you out of sight
Singing
System of brutality
Question their authority

No Justice
System of brutality
No Peace
Question all authority
No Truth
System of brutality
No Peace
Question all authority
