[Lyric] Punching Up (Total Massacre)

Punching down’s "maintaining order"
Punching up, that’s a capital offense
Punching down’s just "the cost of doing business"
Punching up, they’ll label you a terrorist

It’s no surprise they don’t see armed white men
In the capital as foes
They offer no challenge
To the status quo

They’re punching down, "maintaining order."
Punching up, that’s a capital offense
Punching down, that’s "the cost of doing business."
Punching up, they’ll label you a terrorist

It’s no surprise at the first sign
Of a rejection of their roles
Black and brown bodies
Are to be disposed

They’re punching down
So listеn up

Their violence is thе only kind they recognize as "civilized."
Their violence is the only kind they recognize as "civilized."
Their violence is the only kind they recognize as "civilized."
You can’t argue with a shameless hypocrite
But you can drown them in the tide
