I can't breath the air
Tear gas choking up downtown kilometres
Well I fuckin swear
As I stare down down all these officers
That when I'm out of here
I'll never let another pig talk down to me
I can't fuckin bear
Their robot babble adding insult to injury
I'm all riled up
For a second there I almost felt like we could make a difference
Cuz I forgot
To believe in real change you kind of have to be an idiot
They got all their bases covered
They got guns on everyone
We got our faces covered
But they got satellites and drones
What am I doing here
Sitting in a kettle waiting for the revolution
I can smell the fear
A sharp streak overlaying the pollution
They knew where we'd be
And they brought enough handcuffs for all of us
We're taught about freedom of speech
But talk is cheap and it's so fuckin obvious
I'm all fucked up
I never thought that I would ever end up being so cynical
But what the fuck
Am I supposed to do, we can never storm this citadel
They got it figured out
Extorting everyone
They really got it down
You don't like it you can tell it to the judge
They got it under control
They got dirt on everyone
From Montreal to the north fuckin pole, police
