Incendiary - Forge Of Neglect lyrics

(Witness says a 37 year old Kelly Thomas
Was calling out for his dad while officers repeatedly tazed him
The violence was out of control

They were beating him with a black baton to the back of the head
And it was unbelievable
I can't believe what I saw, it was just crazy

I mean, no one deserves to be beat to death like that
There's a lot to know if you die in such pain)

You'll never forget his face, we'll always remember his name
Swearing to serve and protect, the shield becomes a badge of shame
[2x]

Your blood is running, don't you like the taste?
Dominant control, there won't be a trace
Society accepts this force of neglect
The marginalized and weak
Those without a voice to speak
The marginalized and weak
You killed the very person that you swore to protect

You serve nobody but yourself
Make them feel the pain that he felt

You'll never forget his face, we'll always remember his name
Swearing to serve and protect, the shield becomes a badge of shame
[2x]
