CONTRAVENE LYRICS

"Blue By Day, White By Night"

From its earliest beginnings the idea of justice, within our system, has been nothing more than a blatant lie 
The idea of unbiased law and order distributed by the very ones that wish we would die 
From the very start the cops sole purpose was to protect white interest 
U.S. Marshals were established to suppress indigenous resistance. 
But it's not just the cops, there's more at stake than that 
It's the prison guards, the FBI, and all they say "protects" 
The Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines 
All support this racist shit where you're 3/5 a human being. 
Don't feed me this "white rights" shit like no one understands you 
You're not oppressed you're a fucking killer and the cops stand behind you 
Time and time again, we see it on the streets 
Cops support the KKK and the values that they teach 
And when people in communities try to fight back 
Racists use their right to free speech to justify their attack 
And we all feel the backlash when we voice our opposition 
Because the cops will stop at nothing to defend the Klan's position 
So we're the ones that feel the long arm of "justice" 
Tighten around our throats to ensure our silence 
Because the cops are the KKK 
And the opposite is true 
That the same racist fucker that burns the cross at night 
Hides behind a badge in daylight 
And is said to be protecting you. 
Blue by day, white by night 
Killer cops on the streets taking away our rights 
Blue by day, white by night 
Just sit back, don't make a fuss, or they'll snuff out your life 
Blue by day, white by night 
Killer cops on our streets issuing our "rights" 
Blue by day, white by night 
Just sit back, don't make a fuss, or they'll snuff out your fucking life.
