lyrics

Opening Skit (Police (Initial G) vs. Protester (Mike Dynamo))
G: Officers, maintain a perimeter and hold the line
Mike: Yo why won’t they let us in here
G: Sir, we are trying to maintain law and order
Mike: Uh uh this is a peaceful protest there is no law and order to maintain here
G: Sir you need to step back ten paces
Mike: Step back? I’m not even moving! This is a peaceful protest
G: This is an authorized zone only
Mike: Yeah This is an authorized protest
G: Sir stop breaching!
Mike: Yo Chill out man! Chill out man!
G: Sir stop reaching into your pants!
Mike: I’ve got my hands up, man! I’ve got my hands up!
G: Officers, Open fire!

Verse 1 (Initial G)
All this anarchy sounds like a lot of malarkey
cuz when you fall below a certain shade
you're just a darkie
but when I wear the blue, green and khaki
none of you slackers can mock me
you're mackerel I’m the shark see
I mean it's kinda your fault partly
if I'm not the good guy
your vision is distorted like a scanner darkly
and ya disrespect
is gonna leave ya children's tears sparkling

Verse 2 (Mike Dynamo)
Whether it’s the public square of the DMZ
Where mortar shells could fall and end everything
Or whether it’s the steps of the capitol building
Where we fight for the laws determining our needs
Or it’s the stoop of the house where your children sleep
And we want payback for tainted water we drink
Or it’s the heart of the violence inside of a riot
Where nazis get punched for all their fascist lies
just know

CHORUS
We won’t come alone
Alone… alone Just know… Just know
No
We won’t come alone
Alone… alone Just know… Just know
No
We won’t come alone
Alone… alone Just know… Just know
No
We won’t come alone Just know… Just know

Epilogue Verse (Initial G)
I wanna talk directly to the polarized masses
populists progressives get up off your asses
authorities wanna govern with extreme prejudice
while runaway licentiousness falls off the precipice
United we never stood and divided we fell
regardless which side you choose we still chose hell
but I guess everything ebbs and everything rises
so we might as well bet on the winners
gambler's license
