[01:53.97]The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
[01:56.84]The overseer had the right to get ill
[01:59.09]And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
[02:01.83]The officer has the right to arrest
[02:03.95]And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest
[02:06.70]Woop, they both ride horses
[02:09.01]After 400 years, I've got no choices
