Rank & File

(They in soldier mode, they in toy soldier mode right now)

(They can't move they hands off they sticks)

('Cause they a bunch of cowards)

Watch them assemble

Lookin' for trouble

March in formation

March for our nation

Now I don't care what I've been told (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

This police state is much too cold (I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Cut from crooked cloth and mold (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

This police state is much too old (I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Puppets erect with batteries set

They charge for a while and fall right into rank & file

And when they forget that we cut the checks

They get really riled and fall right into rank & file

They fall into rank & file, they fall right into rank & file

Fall right into rank & file, they fall right into rank & file

(I paid you to arrest me?)

Now watch how they tremble, without credential

Orders they follow are skin-deep and hollow

Their governing the master, to their hip is plastered

Say protect and serve us but murder's not service

Now I don't care what I've been told (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

To kill so quick is animal (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Now I don't care what they might say (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

It's gon' come back around one day (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Puppets erect with batteries set

They charge for a while and fall right into rank & file

And when they forget that we cut the checks

They get really riled and fall right into rank & file

They fall into rank & file, they fall right into rank & file

Fall right into rank & file, they fall right into rank & file

Fall right into rank & file, they fall right into rank & file

Fall right into rank & file, they fall right into rank & file

If we make you nervous

What is your purpose?

Worship your trigger

And ignore the figures

You're tumblin' into rank & file and crumblin' into rank & file

And stumblin' into rank & file and mumblin' into rank & file

You're humblin' into rank & file and fumblin' into rank & file

You're tremblin' into rank & file and fall right into rank & file
