When Armies Replace Police - Protest Song Against Trump's Occupation of DC

Details

Description

[Verse 1]
Boots on the pavement
Steel in the sun
Shadows fall heavy
Where freedom once run
They say it’s for safety
They say it’s for peace
But the lines start to blur
When armies replace police

[Chorus]
When armies replace police
The streets turn cold
And the truth’s on lease
Rights fade away
Like whispers in the night
When armies replace police
There’s no end in sight

[Verse 2]
The courts are ignored
The press under fire
The laws bend and break
At the will of a liar
The crowd holds their ground
The rifles don’t cease
Who protects the people
When armies replace police

[Chorus]
When armies replace police
The streets turn cold
And the truth’s on lease
Rights fade away
Like whispers in the night
When armies replace police
There’s no end in sight

[Bridge]
History warns in a voice we know
Once boots fill the streets
They’re reluctant to go
A nation can vanish without a shot
Just uniforms marching
Where justice is not

[Final Chorus]
When armies replace police
The flag still flies
But freedoms decrease
Hold the line
Raise your voice make them see
When armies replace police
We all cease to be
