Fantino's force has got an new favourite plan
And he's employing only the best of his men
To clear the streets of the bad element
With guns at the ready they deal judgement

[Chorus]

WELL WE WON'T STOP SCREAMING
NO WE WON'T STOP SCREAMING
AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
THEN WE WON'T STOP SCREAMING

Can't stand to listen to them preach from afar
Watching them lock the poor and angry behind bars
And the poor are undesired in the world they wanna see
Stubborn, indignant, and deaf to their pleas

[Chorus]

The futility of protest is all too real
Confronted with tear gas and riot shields
Pleas for peace met with violence it don't make any sense
And speaking the truth is an arrestable offence

I don't wanna live in a police state
Don't wanna be a part of your class war and hate
Don't wanna see the future through the barrel of a gun
And from out servers and protectors,
No one should have to run.
