about

This song is rather self-explanatory. It's about police brutality and how there are some who blindly worship the police and take their side no matter what. They don't dare question authority. They have no empathy for the victims of authority. - Tim D.

lyrics

Your blind hero worship
Will lead to fascism
You should question your idols
'Cause they can't all be perfect
But you'll let them take over
'Cause they hate who you hate
Your support will not waver
Even if we all suffer

They're all drunk with power
We're left with hangover
You drink what they give you
You love a boot liquor, now

DRINK... IT... DOWN
DRINK... IT... DOWN

With lock-step devotion
You'll award them more power
Authority you won't question
As you lower your standards
You'll allow them to kill
Anyone in their way
Dire consequences
That there's no going back from

They're all drunk with power
We're left with hangover
You drink what they give you
You love a boot liquor

They're all drunk with power
We're left with hangover
You drink what they give you
You love a boot liquor

You don't seem to have any empathy for their victims
Why is that
The tables turn and it could be you
Wishing they had empathy too

(DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any?
(DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any?
(DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any?
(DRINK IT DOWN) Where is your empathy, why don't you have any?
