Killing in the name of

Some of those that were forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that were forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that were forces are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that were forces are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of, killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
But now you do what they told ya

Those who died are justified
Wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died
Wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Those who died are justified
Wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died

Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office
Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office
Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office
Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office

Killing in the name of, killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control

And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control

Those who died are justified
Wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died
Wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Those who died are justified
Wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died
Wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Come on

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Motherfucker

    That last verse is suppose to be the same as the first. "Some of those that were forces, are the same that burn crosses".

    And I believe the other verse is: "Those who died are justified, you're wearing your badge and you're chosen white." and then "You justify those who died.." That's the only differences I see.
