lirik lagu sly desilva - kops and klan
[intro]
that “thin blue line” we hear about
is between the good and the bad, if you will, of our society
in our communities
they are the thin blue line that protect us
from those who would otherwise, um, create havoc
[hook]
kops and the klan go hand in hand
hand in hand, hand in hand
kops and the klan go hand in hand
hand in hand, hand in hand
[verse 1]
police set trippin’ on the block
circle ‘round they lookin’ to get the drop
nightriders doin’ traffic stops
hop out boys is strapped, ready to pop
shots fired when glocks come out, they waste him
another body caught by the policeman
other officers lie up in the statements
gavel slam, he a free man, d~mn
[hook]
kops and the klan go hand in hand
kops and the klan go hand in hand
kops and the klan go hand in hand
kops and the klan go hand in hand
[verse 2]
extrajudicial, murder, murder continues
police guild extort public officials
since ’83 police budget is tripled
riot gear at the candlelight vigil
they bang on you then throw up the set
fly the thin blue line flag after each death
protests turn into mass arrests
dissent crackdown cause chilling effect (yup)
who do they protect in this stolen land?
who do they serve? which americans?
you ever wonder why there’s no more klan?
‘cause the kops do the job better than they can
said the kops and the klan go hand in hand
word to ’63 birmingham
that’s word to ’14 ferguson
armed thugs, vanguards of the caste system
protect and serve suburban whims
preserve enclaves for the white children
white hoods out but the badge is in
thin blue line boys back again
[interlude]
crime went up!
and it’s only the decent people that crime is being committed on
by hoodlums
and it’s only one thin line between crime and society
and that’s us policemen!
[bridge]
some of those that work forces (thin blue line)
are the same that burn crosses (protect us)
some of those that work forces (thin blue line)
are the same that burn crosses
[hook]
kops and the klan go hand in hand
kops and the klan go hand in hand
kops and the klan go hand in hand
kops and the klan go hand in hand
[verse 3]
they runnin’ rampant like ’75 san fran
manufacturing danger is how they get bands
thugs with badges go unchecked
try to legislate change, they respond with threats
so, really then, who the boss of who?
when your mayor scared of ‘em, sh~t, why ain’t you? (heh)
goonsquad out on the prowl again
enforce the social order any way they can
bodycam snuff films on public display
terrorize the people, keep the people in place (heh)
a man was lynched yesterday
boys in blue had to regulate
said the kops and the klan go hand in hand
departments linked with militamen
infiltrated by supremacists
give ‘em badges and guns and the jury acquits
yeah, now get your hands in the air
errybody get down, put your hands in the air
keep ‘em up, keep ‘em, h~hands in the air
[interlude]
“put your hands up!”
“get your hands in the air!”
~gunshots~
“get down”
“shots fired”
“do not f~cking move! do not f~cking move!”
[hook]
kops and the klan go hand in hand
(“do not move! do not f~cking move!”)
kops and the klan go hand in hand
(“get down!”)
kops and the klan go hand in hand
(“i got him, i got him!”)
kops and the klan go hand in hand
[outro]
uhhh… but that’s what we’re talkin’
err… that’s what we’re talkin’ about
when we say the “thin blue line”
