Can, and Will Be, by Amory McKeever


Anything you say
Anything you do
Can, and will be
Used against you

My shield deflects any criticism
about how I treat my fellow citizen
Your civil rights are awfully cute
but power is best when it's absolute
Step out of the car and walk the line
forget what I said it's taser time
Ooops, that wasn't my taser I wager
I'll just claim that my life was in danger
I get a vacation if you try to resist
you reached for a gun, I'm the only witness

Anything you say
Anything you do
Can, and will be
Used against you

I have no duty to protect and serve
pop with my Glock if you touch a nerve
Peaceful assembly to protest the State
tell me how does pepper spray taste
Kickin' in doors like I was in Iraq
down on the floor with my knee in your back
I don't even know if I have the right place
still gonna to throw a flash-bang in your face
Cryin' and screaming is all part of the game
ten minutes later I've forgotten your name

Anything you say
Anything you do
Can, and will be
Used against you

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
(I feared for my life)
These boots on your neck

come in so many sizes
(I gotta get home to my wife)

That blue line is so much thicker than thin
How can you stop the corruption and win
(I'm just following orders)

When it starts at the top and trickles down
Justice slowly dies to a siren sound

Anything you say
Anything you do
Can, and will be
Used against you
