Oath of Office

[Verse 1]
Where’s your bond
All that talk, but you gone
Swear on a book, then you
Scroll past wrong
Cameras flash
You just practice your laugh
But when the people call
You don’t call back
Who you claim
Red tie, blue frame
Same script, same blame
Just switched names
You hold power like a prize
In a rigged arcade
But that oath you made
That ain’t a game
[Chorus]
Where is your oath of office
Say it loud, I can’t hear a thing (can’t hear a thing)
Are you for us, are you lawless
Or just playin’ for the winning team (just for the team)
On the record, on the coast
Feels like a constitutional crime to me (crime to me)
Where is your, where is your oath
’Cause we don’t see what we’re supposed to see
[Verse 2]
You quote law
Like it’s flavor of the week
But that charter in the drawer
Don’t speak if you tweak
You bend rules
Like they made out of clay
Then you post “thoughts and prayers”
Before bodies laid
Left, right
Both sides of the aisle
Shake hands in the dark
Then divide us by style
We the ones
In the lines, in the heat
You the ones
In the suites, on the fleet
[Chorus]
Where is your oath of office
Say it loud, I can’t hear a thing (can’t hear a thing)
Are you for us, are you lawless
Or just playin’ for the winning team (just for the team)
On the record, on the coast
Feels like a constitutional crime to me (crime to me)
Where is your, where is your oath
’Cause we don’t see what we’re supposed to see
[Bridge]
I don’t care what color on the sign (nah)
When the fire hit the street, you decide
Do you stand on the words that you signed
Or just hide, or just hide (oh)
[Chorus]
Where is your oath of office
Say it loud, I can’t hear a thing (can’t hear a thing)
Are you for us, are you lawless
Or just playin’ for the winning team (just for the team)
On the record, on the coast
Feels like a constitutional crime to me (crime to me)
Where is your, where is your oath
’Cause we don’t see what we’re supposed to see
