Why’s a small town in Missouri
Need a great big fucking army?
They’re not enemy combatants
They live there, that’s their home
When you’re holding an assault rifle
Every human looks like an enemy
When you’re steeped in macho racism
Every young black man’s a threat

Dressed up and ready to fight
They menace and taunt and they incite
They’re just itching for any excuse
To use all the toys they’ve been dying to use 

Why’s a small town in Missouri
Need a great big fucking army?
These quote cops unquote are
More covered than actual soldiers
Tear gas and flash grenades
And anti-mine trucks
99 percent of the protests are peaceful
The cops just don’t give a fuck

Why’s a small town in Missouri
Need a great big fucking army
To tell them not to protest
The killing of one of their own?
When you’re holding an assault rifle
And you’re staring down the scope
You’re not protecting and serving
You’re a fucking terrorist
