lyrics
Shots rung, everybody knew the bastard did it.
The cops dumb fast to pop punks, Bad Religion.
Should've ended a career like it's Chappaquiddick,
instead suspended with pay, now he's back, acquitted.
New beat, task force, sabotage the union,
the same DA that barely even prosecuted,
stranglehold, strikebreakers & the scabs colluded,
status quo for that Amazon package you get.
City sheriff handle transport for court cases,
protecting border agents seeking deportation,
plus the board of education,
enforcing rules that target disproportionately black & brown, poor & native.
Conquering soldiers are lifting boots high,
to stomp a mudhole in the "shithole" they occupy.
Power is willingness to brutalize,
same authority their commander & compatriots rule by.
Walk up in a place of worship & shoot blind,
wash it down with a Coke & some Dylann Roof fries,
no such things as blue lives,
they don't publicize when their troops kill, only when their troops die.
Cops of the world, it's deeper than a badge,
landlord's investment into keeping what he has,
padlocks for the have-nots & the burls,
it's deeper than a badge, the cops of the world.
Cops of the world, it's deeper than a badge,
landlord's investment into keeping what he has,
padlocks for the half-knots & the burls,
it's deeper than a badge, the cops of the world.
If you snitch for a favor, I don't trust you.
Keep tabs on your neighbor? It's still fuck you.
Self-appointed gatekeepers & dress-code makers
that prohibit dreadlocks & scuffed shoes.
Corrupt abusers, churches protecting rape priests,
centrists that make excuses for hate speech,
news anchors that want to hear all sides when
somehow it's never the ignorance that they silence.
Judges that give more time for rock than powder,
the C.O.s that tortured Kalief Browder,
politicians that take corporate cash
& the voters who deny their integrity's smashed.
Vigilantes in the spirit of slave patrols,
voter suppressors that intimidate the polls,
shaming moms & deadnaming dads,
acting like their kids' identity a phase or fad,
Pervis Payne's accuser & the jury that convicted him,
educators that never question the curriculum.
It ain't about the insignia on your sleeve,
if you work to preserve this system, you are police.
Cops of the world, it's deeper than a badge,
landlord's investment into keeping what he has,
padlocks for the have-nots & the burls,
it's deeper than a badge, the cops of the world.
Cops of the world, it's deeper than a badge,
landlord's investment into keeping what he has,
padlocks for the half-knots & the burls,
it's deeper than a badge, the cops of the world.
