Lyrics
Civil Defense
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Its a crucial time
The torch has withered out
The blindfold has hit the ground
And liberty's a laugh
When the shit hits the streets
What we need is - civil defense
Protecting mine, protecting yours
Protecting ours - civil defense
They're not looking out
They're turning tricks
Padding their pockets
We bear the bill
When the shit hits the streets
What we need is - civil defense
Protecting mine, protecting yours
Protecting ours - civil defense
It's a crucial time
We gotta do something
We can't just sit back
And expect it to get better
We need to realize
We need to open eyes
We need to call their lies
We need to mobilize
