Rolling through the city in an armor plated Humvee
Semi-autos locked and loaded, seeking out hostility
When you're in a war zone us vs. them mentality
In these occupying forces it leads to lethality
Last patrol of the night, no time to be caught sleeping
When everyone's an enemy you jump at shadows creeping
Paranoid, grab the straps, military grade street sweeping
Death rides a pale horsepower; modern day grim reaping
A soldier on the ragged edge drives them through the rain
While a post-traumatic timebomb rides shotgun in his brain
He feels this Occupying Force inside of his own crain-
He ominously wonders if he might just be insane
The other's just a bully, a sadist pure and plain
With an itchy trigger finger who gets off inflicting pain
And as this powder keg rolls on towards the refrain
A young man in a hoodie runs at them through the rain

State sponsored terror, spreading disunity
Occupying Forces in our community
Soldiers in this war "Just doing their duty"
Occupying Forces in our community
Shielded from justice; Legal immunity
Occupying Forces in our community
In the end only leads to violent cruelties
These Occupying Forces in our communities

That kid from verse preceding? It's clear he's fuckin' fleeing
He's pleading, bleeding,  erratic staccato heart beating
Hands up while raggedly breathing, in the front of his pants he's peeing
But the threat is all that they're seeing; Us vs Them takes on new meaning
And you know how this ends, so don't you dare laugh
Just a tragic anecdote by the next paragraph
"He shouldn't have run" they'll victim blame his own gaffe
So remember Blue Lives Matter when they carve your epitaph
Time slows for a moment because in this country
If there's one thing we love it's gun pornography
Trigger squeezed, hammer snaps, brass casing flies free
Muzzle flash, slide kicks back, killer choreography
Thousand meters per second, terminal velocity
A lead train to the chest knocks him clean off his feet
Now pan to the door logo as he bleeds in the street
"To Serve and to Protect" your local friendly PD

And the cycle repeats
State sponsored terror, spreading disunity
Occupying Forces in our community
Another brother dead? "Just doing their duty"
Occupying Forces in our community
Shielded from justice; Legal immunity
Occupying Forces in our community
In the end only leads to more sad eulogies
These Occupying Forces in our communities

When it comes to the PD I hope that you feel me
The price of this blue line is sworn corrupt fealty
So profile a minority plant baggies of weed
or maybe murder a driver reaching for his ID
In front of his wife, child in the backseat
Forced to watch while he dies, detained while he bleeds
Live modern day lynchings on your Facebook feed
Another dashcam video the public won't see
Sabotage dismissed as tech difficulties
Perpetuates as the vet trains the rookie
And if they come after you on a legality
Call the Union Hall rep and their best attorneys
Dry clean your dress blues, press conference on TV
"My client feared for his life from this T-H-U-G"
Deniability, a sympathetic jury
Officer gets off free, another blue not guilty
I wonder why we flee at the sight of cherries
When there's different laws for cops than for you and me
And if this version of justice makes you fucking angry
Then one last time now come on say it with me

State sponsored terror, spreading disunity
Occupying Forces in our community
To murder and perjure, "Just doing their duty"
Occupying Forces in our community
Shielded from justice, legal immunity
Occupying Forces in our community
In the end only leads to more sad eulogies
These Occupying Forces in our communities
