It's a punny song about being tasered to death by the police. Written out of frustration after I heard about the RCMP murdering a Polish person at our own YVR airport here in Vancouver.
Electric current events,
Have me fucking shocked,
We've given too much power,
To the fuckin' cops.
Goons and thugs,
Filthy fuckin' liars,
I refuse to wear a bug,
Now I'm wearin' fuckin' wires.
Before you can even say "authority-abuse",
The motherfucking boys in blue hit me with the juice,
They told me I was resisting arrest,
But Ohms were the only resistance.
Reported resilient,
When in actuality,
The only thing present,
Was police brutality.
Charged to the fullest extent of the law.
