From Hot Water Music's 2020 'Caution' + 'No Division' Tour - Night 1 - Strike Anywhere played their 2001 album 'Change is a Sound' in it's entirety. This has always been my favorite song from the album.

Lyrics:
When they broke down the door / and put their guns in the face of your wife and child / and as they beat you to the floor / did you say "officer, I am not resisting you?" / american justice american dream is this what 'the other half' means / half of our lives dissolved in fear / half of our rights they disappear / is our apathy so corrosive / where does the cycle start / hear the sirens screaming out in the distance / hold your family close to your heart / american justice american lies / a war of words that I despise / I wish that good cops if they exist / the very best / and a bullet for all the / complications injustice deliberations what's the deal / they fake it, we break it, and take back what they steal / we could rise black and white unbound and make them pay / for every tear, for every year, defend our yesterdays / when they dropped the bomb on the building to kill a movement / did they care where the rights of the murdered went / police terror in the eyes of the children / police terror in the streets of every town / where's our freedom when the sun goes down / and will the houses that the landlords built keep out the bullet sound / american justice american lies / a racist prison / anaesthetized / I wish the good cops if they exist / the very best / and a bullet for all the... / so we try / to defend together / defend our yesterdays, defend our tomorrows / together
