[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
They live in the city so peacefully
Work hard so the job gets done
You came and decided violently
No man gets to speak their thoughts
Broke their spirits and broke their hearts
Just to get your paycheck, feed your cold heart
Kicking their faces straight into the dirt
It wasn’t you so no one got hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
The violence you bring calls for reckoning
You think you’re so big and strong and hot
No, the fuck you’re not!
It pisses us off, the flames you call God
I’d stop before the rapture starts
Safe? You’rе not
[Chorus]
Watch them run, it’s so fun how manic I can be
Pull that trigger, shoot that gun, watch his dumb sеlf bleed
They wish to change our feeble ways but we won’t let them be
‘Cause who the hell do they think they are? We said we have no kings
You don’t understand their pain, they’re people after all
You just thought that since you’re white, you’re the king of us all
Burn their homes, wreck their cars
Spit in their face, cover them with tar
Break down buildings, windows shattered
Who knew ice was a fire hazard?
[Verse 2]
Lock them in cages like little birds
Keep them quiet and arrest the rest
Fill up their room so they can’t breathe
From drug addicts to little kids
Men and women, children to parent
They all deserve the freedom you’ve taken
Step in their place and keep them in line
It’s sickening how you have no soul inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Instead of just peacefully informing
You decided it’s best to meet peace with violence
You’re racist, not biased
How fast it would all turn if your mom called
Wouldn’t want your mom to hear a kid crying “bloody murder”, huh?
[Chorus]
Watch them run, it’s so fun how manic I can be
Pull that trigger, shoot that gun, make his dumb ass bleed
They wish to change our feeble ways but we won’t let them be
‘Cause who the hell do they think they are? We said we have no kings
You don’t understand their pain, they’re people after all
You just thought that since you’re white, you’re the king of us all
Burn their homes, wreck their cars
Spit in their face, cover them with tar
Break down buildings, windows shattered
Who knew ice was a fire hazard?
[Bridge]
You thought you were right
The harm that you caused was so pernicious
It’s always been wrong
It’s not so bad is what you would say
If only you actually prayed
[Chorus]
Watch them run, it’s so fun how manic I can be
Pull that trigger, shoot that gun, watch his dumb self bleed
They wish to change our feeble ways but we won’t let them be
‘Cause who the hell do they think they are? We said we have no kings
You don’t understand their pain, they’re people after all
You just thought that since you’re white, you’re the king of us all
Burn their homes, wreck their cars
Spit in their face, cover them with tar
Break down buildings, windows shattered
Who knew ice was a fire hazard?
