We never fought for freedom
For nasty little brutes like you

You bring shame on this country for true
Embarrassed by you
We never fought for freedom
For nasty little brutes like you
To come undo the work we do
You bring shame on this country for true
Embarrassed by you

You make your livin' by robbing from others
Pull up your hoodies, are you undercover?
A street full of looters playing it evil
Riding your scooters like Evel Knievel

We never fought for freedom
For nasty little brutes like you
To come undo the work we do
You bring shame on this country for true

You have no morals, no sense of reason
You have no future, you have no freedom
Jabbin' and a-stabbin' and walkin' the line
Shame on the footprints you're livin' behind

We never fought for freedom
For nasty little brutes like you
To come undo the work we do
You bring shame on this country for true
