Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Now You do, what they told you
Now You do, what they told you to
Now You do, what they told you
Now You do,

Those who died are justified,
for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites (Come on)

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Now You do, what they told you
Now You do, what they told you to
Now You do, what they told you
Now You do,

Those who died are justified,
for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites (Come on)
Those who died are justified,
for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites (Come on) (Come on)

I won't do what you tell me
I won't do what you tell me
I won't do what you tell me
I won't do what you tell me
I won't do what you tell me
I won't do what you tell me
I won't do what you tell me
I won't do what you tell me
We're killing in the name of
