Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Young and dumb, truth and justice, fantasy
Fresh out of the academy
Five-time loser bust his head, make your day
Unless you're paid off, then you look away
Do you think this corruption will ever stop?
What makes a person wanna be a cop?
Ran a red light, storm his house and bust the guy
Do you like to see his children cry?
[Verse 2]
Pick up a hooker and take her for a little ride
But get sucked off on the side
Sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing
Badge-wearing, fascist villain
Pissed in the street, you bust the guy
Do you like to see his children cry?
[Verse 3]
The badge means you suck
A child lays there dead
As you look back, what goes through your head?
[Verse 4]
Some still call him a pig
[Verse 5]
Some still call him a pig
[Verse 6]
Young and tough, truth and justice, fantasy
Fresh out of the academy
Five-time loser, bust his head, make your day
Unless you're paid off, then you look away
He burned a flag, storm his house and bust the guy
Do you like to see his children cry?
Ran a red light, take her for a little ride
But get sucked off on the side
[Verse 7]
The badge means you suck
A child lays there dead
As you look back, what goes through your head?
[Verse 8]
Talk to them, you can work it out
You better not even try it
You make a play for his gun
They'll kill you say it was a riot
Riot
[Verse 9]
What's behind the badge?
