A Life Embossed Lyrics
A breed.. no, a series of breeds
It’s not a single type or a single gloss
but they’re singled out at half the cost
cast off and cast out and almost lost is...
the innocent cries of a life embossed
the innocent cries of a life embossed
A judgment based in human error
A snap decision made in crippling terror
A sentence passed down from shaking hands
caving and twisting to frightened demands
of the disillusioned masses, to slap
the wrist of the “lower classes” of life
to slap the wrists, to slap the..
It will be no defence,
despite the nurturing influence
the nature’s decided, the plan is divine
If you should feel remorse
anywhere inside you throughout
the course of this abomination
you should feel grateful...
grateful to feel anything at all
you are the heartless
you are the soulless beast
trained to kill but unwilling...
trained to kill but unwilling to bear witness
oh! grateful to feel anything at all
maybe you should concentrate
on the vicious people and the alarming rate
murderers and drug dealers with whom
you share no regard for life before
you set and ensnare
Outlining the qualities by
combining varied breeds
breeds specific legislation
falls flat on its own short snout
A death squad assembled, why put up a fight?
the round up resembles a crystal night
In relation to temperament
they pass with an overwhelming percent (86.4%).
the american pitbull, the american dream
The task is ours to keep our dogs and children safe.
disregard the media, the province, or the state
With a different target every decade or so,
you can wait until they break into your home
repeat the lies you’ve bought and sold and say,
“You should look up the facts” when you should
look up the facts your fuckin’ self or you could
stand for a dog that’s not your own
because your own damn dog is next
I’m proud of every pitbull,
but ashamed of my own country
oppose any legislature t
hat should try and stop me
and if a pitbull is a weapon, you’ll have to pry them..
and if a pitbull is a weapon, you’ll have to pry them..
I won’t stop until they lift these ridiculous bans.
and if a pitbull is a weapon,
you’ll have to pry them.. from my cold, dead hands.

This is about the ban on Pitbulls in Toronto.
Rody himself confirmed this (and took part in a discussion about it) on the band's facebook page.

*Ontario, not just Toronto. Contrary to what many Torontonians think there are other parts of Ontario :P

"A death squad assembled. Why put up a fight? The round up resembles a Crystal Night."
In this passage, they compare the task force that was rounding up pit bulls to that of the Nazi Party rounding up Jews in Germany which is historically known as "The Night of Broken Glass", or "Die Kristalnacht" in German, which the literal translation is The Crystal Night.
I thought this was an interesting reference. My wife is the type to be quick to dismiss this type of music as meaningless screams and noise. She's a big animal lover so she appreciated the message in this song. Bravo Protest The Hero, Bravo. Please continue to be my favorite band. Thanks.
