They Serve Themselves

They turn their backs on us
They serve themselves

A badge and a hat won't mask the black in your heart
You're supposed to uphold justice but just don't play your part
You should have integrity, you should earn respect
But the country roll our eyes at those who should protect
A loved one's missing, you'll presume they're dead
Coz you've got some parking tickets to be handing out instead
Faced with real issues, you'll always turn your head
You bother decent people and avoid the real threat

The serve themselves

We're the ones they should be there for, we're the ones they swear they care for
But their word's as good as dirt, they're not worth shit, corruption fills their core
The biggest cowards on planet Earth
Flashing blue lights and yellow spines they put their own agenda first
They serve themselves

They serve themselves

Always vigilant, always alert, always fulfil your quota no matter who gets hurt
Fidelity? Bravery? Integrity? You're kidding me!
They seem to be nothing but cowardly
They serve themselves

There is no justice but rough justice

Sometimes it feels like this whole world is a prison
They watch your every move until you need them then they're missin'
