But men are mudered over loose cigarretes, and given an impromptu firing squads for running away frightened. The police have becone judges, juries and executioners, then excuse themselves that it's justified, and are let go to do it again and again. And the courts give favorable outcomes directly proportional to a participant's wealth, right or wrong, and fail to punish the guilty.

We give up our natural rights & instincts to defend or punish for ourselves because it so hard to do fairly. So we give over these functions to systems of enforcement and justice so that all may be treated fairly. But we haven't been treated fairly, and more and more we know it. As individuals and a society it's transactional: we (the people) - don't pursue and punish wrongdoers ourselves IF you (law enforcement & courts)- do it in our stead.

When we have given up more than we gain, there will be a breaking point and some will turn to anarchy. A socity under a corrupt system will feel more and like we are under an occupying force, of our fellow citizens.

So you can survive when law is lawless
Feeling sensations that you thought were dead
No squealin' remember that it's (all in your head)."
