lyrics
Overeducated and underpaid.
Unsatisfied, and loving every second of it.
I’m not here to upset the system
I’m just here to ask a question -
Who do you think you are?
I don’t buy into the lie written on the side
of the car we pay for, and you get to drive -
around like you are the embodiment of law
You’re just a flunkey middle man who clocks out at night.
Flashing your weapon,
and using your greatest tool:
intimidation - and looking me up and down like I’m some thug
from the streets with a gun and habit, a laundry list of priors
and looking for a ticket back to steel city - where you say “they never learn...”
drop the gun. drop the badge. look at me like I’m a man.
You’re in blue, and I’m in black. I don’t wanna hear about “chain of command.”
Justice isn’t always swift.
Justice isn’t always free.
Justice isn’t always what it’s supposed to be.
Justice for everyone.
I’m not above the rules, I’m not above what’s right,
I just want to be safe, and I just want to be free,
I don’t want to be slighted. I demand respect and equality.
Unsatisfied, and loving every second of it.
I’m not here to upset the system
I’m just here to ask a question -
Who do you think you are?
I don’t buy into the lie written on the side
of the car we pay for, and you get to drive -
around like you are the embodiment of law
You’re just a flunkey middle man who clocks out at night.
Flashing your weapon,
and using your greatest tool:
intimidation - and looking me up and down like I’m some thug
from the streets with a gun and habit, a laundry list of priors
and looking for a ticket back to steel city - where you say “they never learn...”
drop the gun. drop the badge. look at me like I’m a man.
You’re in blue, and I’m in black. I don’t wanna hear about “chain of command.”
Justice isn’t always swift.
Justice isn’t always free.
Justice isn’t always what it’s supposed to be.
Justice for everyone.
I’m not above the rules, I’m not above what’s right,
I just want to be safe, and I just want to be free,
I don’t want to be slighted. I demand respect and equality.
