Eighty-Six Twelve Lyrics

Years pass by and you're only going backwards

Their discretion's just another liability

To every person harmed by poorly trained

Cops with qualified immunity

Misconduct protected by the law

Constantly handled irresponsibly

And"clearly established laws" excuse

Excessive police brutality

Shoot first think later

Doesn't make sense

But their actions don't

Have any consequence

With more interactions

Resulting in death

Public officials

Pushing their stakes

As long as they're first

To make the mistake

How long'll we excuse

The lives they take

Years pass by and you're only going backwards

Their discretion's just another liability

To every person harmed by poorly trained

Cops with qualified immunity

Misconduct protected by the law

Constantly handled irresponsibly

And"clearly established laws" excuse

Excessive police brutality

Power handled irresponsibly

Dismissing deadly force constantly

If you don't stop police at the source

They'll continue with no remorse
