Breakdown in New Orleans

They’re rounding up the brownskins
By executive decree
Committing every kind of brutal sin
In the name of security

They want a show of force
They can use in their elections
Determined to stay the course
They won’t alter their direction

They will terrorize communities
Based on a racial profile
Take an ax to the city’s unity
This is justice Homeland style

No one wants them in their town
Ask Memphis or New Orleans
An invitation to total breakdown
At the hands of their machine

We have lost our basic rights
To the whims of this regime
They can take you down on sight
Excessive force is routine

A free society cannot endure
An unrestrained abuse of power
If we do you can be sure
We are in our final hours
