We hold these guns to be self-evident
We'll remind you of Ohio now
The violence is yours to start or end
Your city's ours locked down

We wear this armor to protect ourselves
It's a subtle reminder - don't hit us first
If you don't start nothing maybe you're safe
but your daughters will bear this curse

We only wear these masks to intimidate
You remember our deadly allegiance
Behind our badgeless, unmarked rides
We hide all our impotent reasons

We will strip you, strip you
Strip you like a bride
We'll strip you, strip you,
We'll strip you like a bride
