Abolition from Paper Babies by Superstructure

Turned on the news today
I had to turn away
Another person gone
It happens every day

And I can't get the picture of the murder out of my head
Don't believe my lying eyes, it's his own fault he's dead

Who do you protect?
Who do you serve?
I know it's not me
It's time we all learned

Why are we the villains when you keep killing us?
I can't keep breathing, can't stop the bleeding
Until all the streets are free from your boots
Till there's no need for hands up, don't shoot
It's you, we'll be coming, we won't stop coming for you

They tell me it's a few bad apples while bodies fill the streets
The good ones sit and watch their friends fire tear gas at children's feet
Everyone who profits says that I'm the crazy one
While all the stolen lives cry out for justice to be done

Who do you protect?
Who do you serve?
I know it's not me
It's time we all learned

Why are we the villains when you keep killing us?
I can't keep breathing, can't stop the bleeding
Until all the streets are free from your boots
Till there's no need for hands up, don't shoot
It's you, we'll be coming, we won't stop coming for you
We'll be coming, we won't stop coming for you

The world can be a different place
Tears wiped off of every face
No more cages, no more grief
But first we need to learn to believe

Why are we the villains when you keep killing us?
I can't keep breathing, can't stop the bleeding
Until all the streets are free from your boots
Till there's no need for hands up, don't shoot
It's you, we'll be coming, we won't stop coming for you
We're not the ones who started this war
But we know what we're fighting for
It's you, we'll be coming, we won't stop coming for you

No justice, no peace
