[Intro] (Yeah) (we know your names) Yeah, let me tell you 'bout the ones who sold us out Politicians picking criminals, that's what it's about Turn their backs on working folks who follow the law While they coddle thugs and crooks breaking the laws [Verse 1] We elected you to serve us, keep our streets safe Now you're letting criminals loose all over the place Got your soft-on-crime policies making headlines While good people lock their doors, drawing battle lines You defend the ones who steal, rob, and break in But honest folks pay taxes while you're busy sinning [Chorus, Female Vocalists] Only traitors help invaders, that's the truth we know When politicians back criminals, that's how low they'll go You can run your mouth, you can play your games But we see right through you, we know your names we know your names [Interlude] [Verse 2] Remember when you promised us you'd clean up the mess? Now you're making excuses, causing more distress Got your fancy theories about why crime pays While victims of violence count their numbered days You blame everyone else but won't take the heat For letting predators run wild on every street [Chorus, Female Vocalists] Only traitors help invaders, that's the truth we know When politicians back criminals, that's how low they'll go You can run your mouth, you can play your games But we see right through you, we know your names we know your names [Interlude] [Bridge] When election time comes around, we'll remember this How you sold us out for your political bliss You picked the wrong side when you chose their vote Now you're drowning in the mess that you wrote [Interlude] [Outro] So take your broken promises and hit the road We're done with politicians who won't share the load This country's built on law and order, that's true But you chose the criminals over me and you (Yeah, we know your names)
