Stand Down

Officer, don't just do your job

Think about us, think about who we are

Stand down!

Officer, don't just follow orders

Think about us, think about rock and roll

Stand down!

This really is the last straw

We won't stand for Marshall law

Because imagine that we both know

The top dog epitomizes the low

Who is it that you serve

And who are you supposed to protect

Officer, don't just do your job

Think about us, think about who we are

Stand down!

Officer, don't just follow orders

Think about us, think about rock and roll

Stand down!

We're all cut from the same cloth

We all follow each other's laws

There's no reason for this stance

For this violence at your hands

See your childhood in our eyes

See your purpose your demise

Common values common lives

Coming out our country

See yourself see your home

See yourself you flesh blood and bone

Think about us

When you try to count sheep

Think about us

As we lay here bleeding

Think about us

Try to make your world better

Think about us

Do no harm and stand down
