I've been down Slap my head with abandon Kick my gut while I'm still on the ground Crush me under your pressure Fuck me up while there's no-one around I'll just lie here smiling I'll just take it all Watch on your television See the way they batter me raw Then imagine my anguish As those four cops walk out of the door Maim my town with your anger Rob my friends of their jobs and their pride Loot and kill without feeling Join those cops on an adrenaline drive Watch on your television Shake your head and pity my race Safe down there in your distance Safe behind your smug pallid face Long white cloud in a dead sky Time will come when it happens to you Small events don't get on the news
