How do you sleep and who do you serve?
Stomping your beat
Don’t you ever get tired
of running us down and bringing your heat
The dead don’t forgive and the youth won’t retreat
Who do you serve with that badge, officer?
People or power, money, your ego
There’s a time bomb ticking
The thin blue line is tattered to shreds
Restless, pissed, frustrated
Fed up with your shit
How do you sleep with the blood that has pooled?
Tear gas, rubber bullets, on the necks that you’ve kneeled
Jury, judge, hangman, but you’re just a scared pig
Fuck tomorrow,
This raw nerve is spent
How do you sleep and whom do you serve?
How did it feel to watch your precinct burn?
There’s drumming outside
Is your gun to your head?
We’re not asking
We’re not begging
We are shouting never again

What a tune! Once again Black Mountain find a killer groove in the same vein as 'Druganaut' (Extended Remix), 'Thirteen Walls', 'Mothers Of The Sun' - kudos to the drummer, shades of Buddy Miles. Why was this not on 'Destroyer'! The Socialist Birder

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
