small reforms are no solution
abolition, revolution
don't be bitter, don't get beat
get off twitter, hit the street
don't be scared, don't be wary,
fellow revolutionary
police reform is overblown
the system must be overthrown
We’re queer, We're pissed
Cause trumps a white supremacist
We’re queer, We’re here
To make policing disappear
We’re bottoms, we’re tops
We’re here to defund cops
From NYC to PDX
Keep the [cops/pigs/feds] off our necks
NYPD DHS abolition nothing less
abolish police get these cops off the street

Dragonfly’s “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize”
Fran and I had worked out this idea of repeating each verse twice and then going to the “Hold On” Section
Added lyrics:

Hate won’t sent us running
We will keep on running
