Just Another Lie
Unveiling Society's Deception
Lyrics
You put your army on the street
You deployed your military or authoritative force in the public space.
But I can't see the peace they keep
Despite the presence of this force, the promised peace is not apparent.
They beat you up and gun you down
The authorities physically harm and use firearms against the citizens.
The mayor wears the golden crown
The mayor, a symbol of power, wears a metaphorical golden crown, suggesting corruption.
Call it Justice, Call it law
The speaker labels the proclaimed justice and law as deceptive.
It's just another lie
The idea is reiterated that what is presented as justice is, in fact, another falsehood.
Try to fight 'cause they're corrupt
Encouragement to resist because those in power are morally compromised.
You speak your mind, they'll lock you up
If you express your opinions, you'll face imprisonment by the corrupted authorities.
How long can this shit go on
Raising the question of the sustainability of the oppressive situation.
They'll kill us all before too long
The fear that the actions of the authorities will lead to the demise of the population.
They prey on the poor, they prey on the weak
The powerful exploit and harm the impoverished and vulnerable.
These vultures that patrol the streets
Metaphorical description of authority figures as vultures patrolling the streets.
They'll take a bribe and they won't think
Authorities are susceptible to bribery, showing their lack of moral integrity.
They'll shoot you down won't even blink
They will use lethal force without hesitation.
Don't go outside the cops are there
A warning to avoid confrontation with the police who are present outside.
There's law and justice everywhere
Sarcasm implying that law and justice are omnipresent when they may not be just.
Look out for justice dressed in blue
Cautioning against those in authority, especially the police.
'Cause next time they'll be coming for you
A direct warning that the authorities will target you in the future.
