Losing stamina to the back end, I was losing traction
I slipped and hit my head on the proverbial floor
(Police with the worst intentions, forcing out a false confession)
I've seen the badge do far worse, making friends convert
To place a code of ethics above their own family
(Give a man a gun, he'll shoot it badly. Teach him how to kill, he'll do it gladly)
Coming down from the end, so much longing and I'm left fawning
Over a holistic society that does not use weapons or violence to achieve peace
And it doesn't, it doesn't exist
