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

Now you do what they told ya
            (repeat 10 times)
But now you do what they told ya
Well 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

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
            (repeat 15 times)
Motherfucker
