Lyrics

You protect the guilty if they act like your friends
You let the innocent die just to get your revenge
Oh, you’ll protect the guilty if they’ll act like your friends
You’ll let the innocent die just to get your revenge

Rich and white get off, by executive order
Poor and brown, cursed to cages, separated at the border
The rich and white get off, by your executive order
The poor and brown, cursed to cages, separated at the border

To every Abel in the corridors of power, who profits by your gain
Oh, you offer safe harbor and you barter with the mark of Cain

You pardon the fools for the sins of the rich
Just like you pardoned every crime of all the insurrectionists
Oh, you pardon the fools for the sins of the rich
You pardoned every crime of all the insurrectionists

You profit off your office, but it’s you that gettin’ played
Of his own impotence, I’ve never seen a man more afraid
You profit off your office, but it’s you that gettin’ played
Of his own impotence, I’ve never seen a man more afraid

To every Abel in the corridors of power, who profits by your gain
Oh, you offer safe harbor and you barter with the mark of Cain
