OFFICER DOWN LYRICS - KARDINAL OFFISHALL

The power of law becomes a farce

Personal ambition usurps justice

The deep protected at the disbursement of the poor

Would you sit on the fence take no chance?

As those batons fall turn a blind eye

In an ideal world

There'd be no motive for law

No demand for police

But in a company so sick

So preoccupied with blind greed

Someone has to protect

The old and the weak

Officer down

Can we really open to be so selectively blind?

If we dig too deep what would we find?

At authority's heart beats a dollar sign

Under such a regime we're all doing time

Striking with impunity

Hiding behind flags of immunity

Never say you weren't warned

When they get to pull you away

To hush the dissident hiding in us all

They grasp the fist of ordained might

From which side of the barbed wire

Do you need to see your life return by?

When reason dies behind closed doors

Face downward in a cell in a consortium of piss

It's time to care what we should respect

It's time to question

Cause and effect

Who teaches the teachers?

Who makes laws for lawmakers?

When they take us our rights

What about human rights?

Send "Officer Down" ringtone to your cell

Send "Officer Down" ringtone to your cell

When reason dies behind closed doors

Face downward in a cell in a consortium of piss

It's time to care what we should respect

It's time to question cause and effect

Striking with impunity

Hiding behind flags of immunity

When corruption rears its horrible head
