End the Terror Now

In the cities and the villages A gang disturbs the peace They attack the darker people And it never does decrease They have weapons, they have badges They are known as the police Let's end the terror now Glory glory let's defund them No small changes, just home-run them They don't serve, they don't protect So it's high time we elect To end the terror now We have sought accountability, it never has worked out We've relied on body cams that sometimes seem to fizzle out Offered sessions in de-escalation they just yawn and pout Racism marches on They have taken untold black lives For no cause but hate and fear Of inequality they are The sharp point of the spear Now the people have awoken And until justice is here We will go marching on Glory glory let's disband them We don't mean to just re-brand them Preserving order is their trust But the order is unjust Let's end the terror now We must organize society the way some folks have done Building power from the neighborhoods would be a lot of fun Fund the social needs and you will see that no one needs a gun And the cops could get real jobs Glory, glory let's replace them Find the worst ones and deep space them We're not signing no more checks To the Cop-prison complex Let's end the terror now
