First show a little respect, change your behavior
Change your attitude, change your plan

Are you really for peace and equality?
Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me
Your laws are minimal
Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal

The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off patroling all the nation
The overseer could stop you what you're doing
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing

And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back to put a hole in your chest!
