Violent By Design (feat. Janey Starling) Lyrics


Petrol Girls Violent By Design (feat. Janey Starling)

[Verse 1]
You gotta lotta trust in thugs in uniform
So who is it that you think that they protect you from?
Who do you see when you see 'them'?
Model-village citizen

[Verse 2]
Just a slap on our wrists and we know it
We breathe easy, sleep easy
Our shock shows our distance
Shows we've not been listening
[Verse 3]
There to make us safe
Keep us in our place
Criminals must pay
So do what they say

[Verse 4]
Whose law? Whose order?
Whose law? Whose order?
Why address need when they can protect greed?
The P.I.C.'s expanding

What kind of peace do they keep?
I see no justice

[Chorus]
You think they make us safe?
Are they a friendly face?
Keep us all in our place
Hey, it's a pretty nice place you got there
Oh, are they the good guys?
Are they the nation's pride?
Always on the right side
The thin blue line is violent by design

[Verse 5]
Invented to protect property
Value statues more than our bodies
They humiliate and disbelieve
They protect their own
Just a domestic
She had it coming

[Verse 6]
Just a wrong'un in a just system
Can't even deliver on its own outcomes
They get access to the vulnerable
There's rapists and killers in uniform

But why didn't she call up the police?

[Chorus]
You take their advice?
Do you stay home at night?
We're more likely to die
In our homes at the hands of a man we know
Oh, are they the good guys?
Are they the nation's pride?
Always on the right side
The thin blue line is violent by design

[Outro]
How many bad apples
Till we look at the tree
Pull at its roots
Confront our history?
ACAB
They don't protect me
