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
