5. The Year Of The Swine

Where’s a fucking copper when u need one?
When u need one u can never ever see one!

Where’s a bloody copper when u need one?
What’s the use in dealing with it all after the fact?
When u need one u can never ever see one
Not sure who they serve cos it’s not u they protect
I'm Not sure who they serve cos it’s not u they protect

Undercover spies in the protest line
Brutal bloody violence with a righteous smile
And the popo unavailable for record time
(Is this the year of the pig - or the year of the swine?)
And the peaceful people beaten up all the while
(It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s right in front of your eyes)

U can’t swerve and deflect forever
U can’t only come put in nice weather
U can’t just handle it all by letter
U can’t just pretend and say something clever
Well, it’s not ok to not care - no, not ever
(It’s your fucking job!)
Well, u need to know that, u need to show that - u need to do better
Well, you’ve got to much better now

Corruption, corporations getting in the mix
Pillars of community with masks and sticks
(What a bunch of dicks)
Well, you raise your voices up and u might get hit
(Is this the year of the swine or the year of the pig?)
Then they’ll turn around and act like your to blame for it
(It’s not a conspiracy theory if u can prove it - shit!)

U can’t swerve and deflect forever
U can’t only come put in nice weather
U can’t just handle it all by letter
U can’t just pretend and say something clever
Well, it’s not ok to not care - no, not ever
(It’s your fucking job!)
Well u need to know that, u need to show that - u need to do better
Well you’ve got to much better now

Well if u want my support you’ve got it
But if u want my advice GET OUT (get out!)
Because their never ever ever gonna let u have it
and of that I’ve got no doubt
No their never never never ever ever gonna let it go
because in 30 years time they’ll be knocking down your front door…

Where’s a bloody copper when u need one?
What’s the use in dealing with it all after the fact?
When u need one u can never ever see one
Not sure who they serve cos it’s not u they protect
Not sure who they serve cos it’s not u they protect

Is this the year of the swine or the year of the pig?
Well, it’s not a conspiracy theory if u can prove it!

Where’s a bloody copper when u need one?
What’s the use in dealing with it all after the fact?
When u need one u can never ever see one
Not sure who they serve cos it’s not u they protect

Where’s a fucking copper when u need one?
When u need one u can never ever see one!

(So if that’s not your ideal life,
If that’s not really your style,
Well, u can protest all u like,
But work on a plan to fucking save your life!)
