Kickin' up the dust clouds here we go
Out to the Wild West
Ride the ferry as the sun goes down
Carrying on the quest
But on the way back all's not well
There's an incident on deck
Big brave bullies with CS gas
Tried to break the kids neck
Big brave bullies with CS gas
Tried to break the kids neck

Pass the axe an' I'll show you justice
Pass the axe an' I'll show you what's right
Pass the axe an' I'll show you justice
Your blocking freedom out of sight
Pass the axe and I'll take a slice

When a rat is cornered a rat fights back
With all the strength he's got
Shut yourself in the toilet boys and pray it has a lock
Lights they're a flashin', it's a ten-0-four
There's trouble in the dock
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price
Impounded in asbestos
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price
Impounded in asbestos
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price
Impounded in asbestos
