Stand Down

Officer, don't just do your job
Think about us, think about who we are
Stand down!
Officer, don't just follow orders
Think about us, think about rock and roll
Stand down!

This really is the last straw
We won't stand for Marshall law
Because imagine that we both know
The top dog epitomizes the low
Who is it that you serve
And who are you supposed to protect

Officer, don't just do your job
Think about us, think about who we are
Stand down!
Officer, don't just follow orders
Think about us, think about rock and roll
Stand down!

We're all cut from the same cloth
We all follow each other's laws
There's no reason for this stance
For this violence at your hands
See your childhood in our eyes
See your purpose your dеmise
Common values common lives
Coming out our country
See yoursеlf, see your home
See yourself, your flesh, blood and bone

Think about us
When you try to count sheep
Think about us
As we lay here bleeding
Think about us
Try to make your world better
Think about us
Do no harm and stand down
