Blue Lives Don't Matter

from Songs for Lovers and Tear Gas by Ash Bricky

lyrics

Blue lives don’t matter
Because they don’t exist.
It’s a job, it’s a choice
To protect the fascists

You weren’t born a cop,
You chose to be a pawn
You chose to enforce corrupt laws

Blue lives don’t matter
Because it’s a career
You studied really hard
Went to school for a whole year

You graduated top of your class
Now you’re a certified jackass

Stop pretending like you’re oppressed
When you spray us on the streets
And treat us like we’re possessed, now

Stop pretending like you’re oppressed
When you come to work in your sunday’s best

Blue lives don’t matter
All cops are bastards
You’re kindness won’t matter
You still follow the orders

Blue lives don’t matter
All cops are bastards
You don’t really care about what’s right.

Stop pretending like you’re oppressed
When you spray us on the streets
And treat us like we’re possessed, now

Stop pretending like you’re oppressed
When you come to work in your sunday’s best

No justice no peace!
