Protection
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.
Lay down your arms
Go in peacefully
Lay down your freedom
Your individuality
No place to run
You're outta sanctuary
So lay down your arms
Jrs. got your gun
Hey, we need protection
Yea, we need protection from the system
All we need's protection
State your name
Where you're coming from
State your age
Where you're going to
Hands on your head
Turn and face the wall
Dead to rights
You're messing with the law
Hey, we need protection
Yea, we need protection from the system
All we need's protection
Hey, we need protection from protection
from protection from protection from protection
Hey, we need protection
Yea, we need protection from the system
All we need's protection
Yea, we need protection from protection
from protection from protection from protection
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah ...
