This is blues tune about economic injustice and how militarized police are being used to enforce corporate interests against an increasing poorer public.

lyrics

I walked up to the bank, the police standing there since dawn.
I walked up to the bank, the police standing there since dawn.
I said, I’m not here for a rob’ry, but, you know, there’s one goin’ on

I marched to the coal mine from the town on the hill.
I marched to the coal mine from the town on the hill.
The air went from clean to sooty and people’s eyes were red as hell.

So I sidle up to the gate keeper with his security team on call.
So I sidle up to the gate keeper with his security team on call.
I said, I know you need a new job so you can stand up tall.

There’s no justice in protecting the rich from the poor.
There’s no justice in protecting the rich from the poor.
‘Cause the laws being broken won’t protect them no more.

You might not see it on the T.V. but we’re not waiting at the door.
You might not see it on the T.V. but we’re not waiting at the door.
You might think you have us beaten but you're not going to win this class war.
