[Verse 1]
They wore blue like a shield
But the badge was a blade
First they broke my cousin's truck
Then they called it a raid
They slipped a pipe in his trunk
Said, "Look what we found"
He spent six months locked up
For a lie they wrote down
Then they shook down the diner
Took cash off the till
Said the owner was "dirty"
Just for standing still
[Pre-Chorus]
Small town, same smile
Same hand on the gun
They push and they push
Till the damage is done
[Chorus]
Plant the proof, lie clean
Say it's for the team
Small town hands, dirty deeds
Bury truth, break dreams
But the wronged don't stay down
No, the wronged don't stay down
When you push too far
We come back around
[Verse 2]
They tagged a kid on Main Street
For a fight he never threw
Then they lost the body cam
Like they always do
They kicked in my brother's door
At the break of dawn
Said a tip was enough
To make his freedom gone
They framed a single mother
With a bag and a bruise
Then they laughed in the hallway
Like there was nothing to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
Small town, same smile
Same hand on the gun
They keep on stacking pain
Till it comes undone
[Chorus]
Plant the proof, lie clean
Say it's for the team
Small town hands, dirty deeds
Bury truth, break dreams
But the wronged don't stay down
No, the wronged don't stay down
When you push too far
We come back around
[Bridge]
Then they came for the mechanic
In the rain, by the shop
Tore his truck apart
Thought he'd beg them to stop
But he kept every witness
Every date, every name
And the day they crossed him hard
He set the whole town flame
[Final Chorus]
Plant the proof, lie clean
Say it's for the team
Small town hands, dirty deeds
Bury truth, break dreams
Now the wronged don't stay down
No, the wronged don't stay down
You pushed too far
And it all went down
[Outro]
Now the cuffs on their wrists
And the talk in the hall
No more taking from the weak
No more standing tall
