Early version of "support authority", recorded in Garret's basement early 2012. Originally intended for a comp which never came out, and later released as a 1 song cassette of about 30 copies.
lyrics
doff your hat, shake their hand, policemen stand where policemen stand
you've gotta be taught that you're not a man, the abuse of power, a line in the sand
people got problems, and cities got cops
and all we've got to clean this up is a bucket and a mop
but policemen stand where policemen stand
can't you see the truth?
what they've done to you?
Support Authority
the disease of control, law and order, what we call courageous is merely the cowardice of the bully who hides behind his weapon because he fears the truth of his own weakness-
What's it mean to you? what's it mean to me?
the autumn leaves falling off the family tree.
done, done, the bootblack has done to hide the blood of lessons taught with club and with gun
what's it mean to us when the numbers come up?
order imposed with a message of love
by men, men, by plastic men, sure to find the failure when it happens again
the votes are in, and the uniformed men guard the empty streets while the madmen sin
in desperation, while the trees stand bare
can't you see the truth?
what they've done to you?
