V5.5

[Verse 1] We are the Guard, the boots on the street, In the Navy they have nothing to eat, But I'm a well-fed Nazi set loose on the street, Guarding the pool where the waters reflect, While civil rights are what we neglect. Storming the Applebee's, taking the booth, Trampling over the law and the truth. [Chorus 1] Tear-gassing citizens out in the street, Terrorizing neighborhoods, forcing retreat, Protecting the gestapo, locking the cage, Putting babies inside in cages while the whole world looks at us and rages With pepperball guns like super soakers in hand, Wreaking our havoc across the land. [Verse 2] I oppress America, standing at the post, Protecting the gestapo, harming those we host, From Concord to the corner where the neighborhood cowers, We terrorize the families through the midnight hours. [Bridge] I guess this is all that we can be, I've found my future in the Nazi army. Grandpa fought the Nazis over in Europe, Now we work for them at home, tearing down the hope. [Key Change] [Verse 3] And if my commanders order us to charge, We tear-gas the civilians down the boulevard. Putting babies in cages, locking up the youth, Stamping out the freedom, trampling on the truth. [Chorus 2] Oppressing freedom, Destroying dreams, That is the spirit, Tearing at the seams. For the badge, for the boot, for the iron fist above, I oppress America. [Verse 4] And in the eye of the panic we create, Standing in the armor of a police state, With pepperball guns like super soakers we spray, Terrorizing the blocks in the middle of day. We are your neighbors, your sons, and your daughters, Acting as the enforcers, only following orders. [Verse 5] Who is protecting the country from actual threats? While we're out busting heads and working up sweats? What will this look like on my résumé? When employers all ask about the price that we pay? Who will ever hire me when Trump is gone? Now that we've marched and carried it on? I hope the weather is nice when they hang me at The Hague, For being a part of a genocidal plague. [Outro] Oppressing freedom, Destroying dreams, That is the spirit, Tearing at the seams. For the badge, for the boot, for the iron fist above, I oppress America. Guarding the ruins, AMER-I-CA....
