Not-A-Cop

 

when i'm in the squad car
imagine so drunk i should turn my fake badge in
instead i think i'll beat the first immigrant i meet
pick a fight down on broken street
all i really want wannabee a symbol of authority
i'm mad i'm not
fake respect thrown at me
not through correction but through a corrupt plot
i hope i don't get caught

i'm not a cop
i'm mall security
and it's funny how everything turns around
i used to laugh at people like me
i was a hooligan then a bigger hooligan now

i'm mad that i'm not drunk right now
i'm mad i'm not a good cop somehow
badged best alcohol test
might apply to you but i'm above the rest

i'm not a cop
i'm mall security
and it's funny how everything turns around
i used to laugh at people like me
i was a hooligan then a bigger hooligan now

i'm so damn drunk you can not imagine
streets would be safer if i'd turn my badge in
labeled a bad cop i guess i shouldn't smile
with no confidence vote amongst my own rank and file
i'll sober up and i will feel the guilt tomorrow
i never thought i would abuse this trust that i borrow
someday i want to break this pattern i've begun
meanwhile i'm drunk witha club and a badge and a gun

drunk with badge
mustache and authority
drunk with badge
no matter how drunk i might be
drunk with badge
maybe someday i should stop
drunk with badge
i'm not a cop
