about

ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO BLACK LIVES MATTER

It’s no secret that our country struggles against systematic racism in so many ways. It pisses us off, and millions more, that good people remain silent about this: politicians, employers, police officers. These people see injustice and feel the hurt it bears, but fear the repercussions of speaking out against it. “Your Badge Is A Burning Cross” is a call out, specifically to police officers who refuse pull the card on the cowardly, racist thugs they call friends. But in truth, it goes out to anyone who observes injustice and looks the other way. What will you tell your children? Their children? Which side of history are you on right now?

lyrics

Another victim
More like a target
Of a system
Born to trap minorities in the margins

Your code of silence
Is only weakness
Proclaiming justice
As you destroy it

Your badge is a burning cross
Your badge is a burning cross
It's not on us to bear that loss
Your badge is a burning cross

The blood on your brothers' hands
Spills from your mouths
Biting your tongues
To protect cold blooded cowards

Your code of silence
Is only weakness
Proclaiming justice
As you destroy it

Your badge is a burning cross
Your badge is a burning cross
It's not on us to bear that loss
Your badge is a burning cross
