we're so much stronger united
so much weaker divided
we need to fight this
together as one

while the cops are staring
taunting and daring
one starts the fire
one, not all

that doesn't matter
the pigs just get fatter
the kid who starts the riot makes the news
the ones who try and keep the peace lose

together as one
thats how we have to do it
the kid who starts the chaos
thats the kid who blew it

the media won't hear us
if theres no reason to fear us
but we still gotta fight this thing
together as one


It's fucked up how some of you look at young people. One young person takes a swing at a cop at a rave and theres a huuuge F**KING crackdown on us.

I think most cops are just honest people trying to do their jobs as best as they can and so, take offense at calling them pigs. Just my opinion...

The simplistic stance "kids versus cops" makes the piece seem sarcastic, again, just my opinion here.

These lines could be reworked in order to smooth out the overall rythym:

"the kid who starts the riot makes the news
the ones who try and keep the peace lose"


That's my two cents.

I like it. Too often, we regard cops as good, but cops have human natures. And because they have human natures, this means they can be malicious and real assholes at times. I sympathize with you, burnout.

Cops can be a**holes but so can kids, so what? On the whole I think kids are way bigger idiots due to their idealism and naivety.

And that's coming from a kid, yo.
