lyrics

~
SWAT team took your neighbor today
you watched them as they walked him away
You told yourself
“extremists come in all different shapes”
Met his eyes and lowered your gaze
~

But is it too late for us to ever change?
Once we’re collecting the dust of better days?
They’re always watching us,
but, we’re never safe
We’re not meant to be saved
Not meant to escape
We’re not meant to wake

~

Sheriff stopped your daughter today
pepper-sprayed her twice in the face
He must have had good reason,
if he’d treat her that way,
at least that’s what they’ve taught you to say
~

But is it too late for us to ever change
Once we’re collecting the dust of better days?
They’re always watching us,
but, we’re never safe
We’re not meant to feel safe
Not meant to escape
We aren’t meant to wake

~

Feds arrived and had you detained
Said you’d made some posts
they want changed
Tased you til you felt like
you’d forgotten your name,
or life before they had you contained.

Life before they had you contained.

SWAT team took your neighbor today.

~
