Lyrics:
I got me a badge, got me a gun
Someday gonna get to shoot someone
Be in the paper, on TV
Everybody gonna wanna interview me
CHORUS:
Police state, pepper spray
Beat and tase, escalate
Police state, it's OK
It's us that get to investigate
(Us that gets to investigate)
Write some tickets, confiscate
Seize and misappropriate
Buy some gear and fancy guns
To use upon the citizens
I love civil forfeiture
It's making lots of money for
Cameras that won't film us when
Someone has an 'accident'
CHORUS
Ninety days with full pay
Time off just to contemplate
The fact that I can have my fun
And no other cops will tell no one
Cruise my cruiser down the street
Why would I ever walk a beat
And locally familiarize
Much more fun to militarize
