Rolling down that country road, radio up and the windows low, I wasn’t speeding, wasn’t weaving, let my troubles just let go. But then the red and blue lights flashed, like a storm in the night sky, I pulled over to the roadside, wondering just why.
[Verse 2]
The officer he saunters up, says, “Son, you’ve been smoking green?” I said, “Yes sir, it’s legal now, ain’t that how it’s s’posed to be?” He leaned in close, with a sneer in his eyes, Said, “We’re gonna take a little walk, just you and I.”
[Chorus]
Broken law, broken trust, when justice wears the badge of spite, You can’t cuff me for my choice, so you twist the rules tonight. Faking tests and false arrests, to cage a freedom found, Broken law, broken trust, in this small-town battleground.
[Verse 3]
They made me walk a crooked line, touch my nose to smeared breath, But my steps were straight, and my mind was clear, they couldn’t see my health. Just a puff to ease my pain, they locked me in a cell, For their disdain of freedom’s gain, they dragged me into hell.
[Verse 4]
Livin’ life in a backward land where the lawman plays his games, They’ve got quotas and vendettas, and they aren’t ashamed. The battle’s changed but the war remains, against the tides of liberty, In the shadow of that sheriff’s hat, hides hypocrisy.
[Chorus]
Broken law, broken trust, when justice wears the badge of spite, You can’t cuff me for my choice, so you twist the rules tonight. Faking tests and false arrests, to cage a freedom found, Broken law, broken trust, in this small-town battleground.
