Badge on chest, sworn to protect. A system afraid of accountability, calls protest “criminality”. We were raised to believe in the shield, Now the shield’s just another weapon you wield. You preach “serve and protect”, through a megaphone lie. While another protester, bleeds out and dies. Authority. Who protects us from you? Authority. Who protects us from you? When the oath turns hollow— Who protects us from you? You see a threat in a cardboard sign. You see “resistance” and you cross the line. “Split-second choice” — yeah, we’ve heard that shit. Funny how it’s always someone else who gets hit. Safety’s off. Brain’s off. Finger on the trigger— What the fuck? Authority. Who protects us from you? Authority. Who protects us from you? When the oath turns hollow— Who protects us from you? Scared. Of. Voices. Scared. Of. Voices. Scared. Of. Voices. Authority. Who protects us from you? Authority. Who protects us from you? When the oath turns hollow— What the fuck protects us from you?! Who protects us from you?
