Killing in the name of
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Come on
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me
Mother-f*cker!
