Also, while I ran out, someone else grabbed my guitar offstage and ran out the front door. I grabbed this from someone who was running down the street with it. We had rented the van from a van rental place in Brooklyn. At the end of the tour, Ezra just drove it back to the rental place, cigarette dangling from his lips, trash bags flapping in the wind. The following week we got another message from Florida. It sounds ridiculous now, but things were different then.
So, on the next tour, on our way down to Florida, right after we crossed the state lines, we stopped at a Home Depot. Sturgeon: The machetes were…just in case. I always thought machetes were a great idea. Plus, they look dangerous. I just went about my business. People did get stabbed and shot and had the shit knocked out of them. It was dangerous, but that never stopped us from going to shows. In Tampa, the leader of the gang that wanted our asses showed up to the gig with a bunch of his boys.
We thought for sure that shit was going to go down. We had our machetes on us. I remember things getting tense while we were playing. I'm being hunted by paleface in blue and these cracka' spooks are haunting you too With municipal shovels they're out digging our graves Under threat of reprisal we abide to enslave Policia, policia; why can't you see Your bullets will never pacify me I don't fight the world; the world fights me Cause the gang in control is the fucking P. That's right Fuck the police they're gang control We've gotta take it back Everyone get up and let's go Your politics spawn politikill I'll take a bullet to prove that you kill You front the facade of a righteous man But the hole in your heart put a gun in your hand Protecting the money and out serving the state Crushing the people with the laws they created Nothing forgotten and nobody saved You can not break me, force me to behave Fuck the police they're gang control We've gotta tear it down Everyone get up and let's go around the globe it's outta hand from the states to iran across the ocean, back again England, Zaire and Japan Fuck the police they're gang control We've gotta tear it down Everyone get up and let's go Individuals who hate man With king's license to clean the land Fill the army with one way laws Around the world to suit their cause Edit Lyrics.

General Comment I always laugh when I read the discussions of bands that fall under the punk category. You always have some asshole saying "I think this song is about hating cops!
Anyway, the music is absolutely fantastic, the vocals are killer, this song pumps me up and moves me and that's what music should be about. I don't care if cops are crooked or not, or if LOC is punk or not. If a band can move a person, they are worthy of existance. That's the way I see it.
BuryYourOwn on October 02, Link. BuryYourOwn that's a great philosophy, but you entirely miss the point of the song then LoC is in fact a punk band, but they're also a political band in their entirety. It's just as much punk rock as it is protest art.
Tig45 on January 11, General Comment I think this song is about how cops suck. General Comment I love this fucking song. It's riduculous that we've gotten to the point where innocent people must live their lives in fear of these henchmen in blue. And chances are when a REAL crime is being committed, they won't be there to help. Politicians continue to pump out legislation that inhibits our freedom and privacy, and the cops carry out their dirty work - punishing those who don't abide by their moral ideology.
The policia are too fucking intrusive and it's allowing innocent people to get killed or go to prison. Fuck the police they're gang control We've gotta tear it down Everyone get up and let's go This song is telling people to get up and stop letting cops harass you just because they've got the bullets and think they should tell you what you can or can't do.
General Comment police arn't bad here as i just realized General Comment this song is great.
