They Don’t Work for Us - Sims

Don’t call the cops, they don’t work for us

Put your hands in cuffs

You know who runs this shit

You know what runs this shit

Head of flesh, pound of steam

Piggy see your pocket, pick it clean

But is that what we need, a common enemy?

We imagine but we do nothing ketamine

But what is there to do for real?

Who brought the stone?

Who brought the steel?

Watch what they guard in riot

Not about your feels

No rules it’s just deals

The fever couldn’t be more metered

On the take and couldn’t seem more eager

And these are you leaders

Bend their will to what the CEO needed

Don’t write your rep, they don’t rep you

With no respect due

They don’t even know what they’re repping now

When the lobby is bigger than the house

Got me thinking about what I should build and what I should leave

If there’s an out or if I should grab me a piece

Then I look at em feed, hook in their mouth, shuffle their feet

As if that ever mattered to me

I don’t do that dance

I just move like this

I just bump my beat

Tell em who that is

Yes, I play that game

But no, it’s not the same

And no, I’m not alone

Fuck it when it Rome I should let you know

The tide is rising over here

And we can’t float on hope

I ain’t sinking on this god damn boat

Pull up the anchors

Hang em with our last length of rope

They say put em up

I don’t think so

Bank says give it up

I don’t think so

So let’s mix it up

Watch where the money goes blank

Whole city taking that bait

I’m thinking no way, I refuse to beg

Mind what I pay

If free is what I really want

They got law

They got cuffs

They got guns

That they bust

But we got us

And they don’t

I was just thinking without being too clever

That we could better

But what‘s that resemble?

Beat em at their own game or break and dismantle

See the coppers are in pocket and the coffers corrupt

And the whole continent feels about to erupt

This is not a call to arms or to fill up a coffin

The alarm been ringing, this bring us and option

I won’t be run over lying down

Not now

They say put em up

I don’t think so

Bank says give it up

I don’t think so

So let’s mix it up

Watch where the money goes blank

Whole city taking that bait

I’m thinking no way, I refuse to beg

Mind what I pay

If free is what I really want

We got crushed

We got lit

But we got rough

We got grit

And we got us

And they don’t
