When The Cops Cry

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey... we're all dead [Chorus] There's a vast [?] in hell Where every cop ever's teargassing themself [Verse] Somewhere, there's a cop quietly crying in a bathroom stall So his peers don't hear him in the halls Wiping his eyes with dad's favorite deflated football Wanting to give his mother a call, but she died After a loveless alive being matroned and wived This officer hates himsеlf, barely understands the disdain shе felt For another cis white son hidden behind an obsession with gun And invulnerable deep, deep dumb That swears the sun itself around him is spun Precisely the kind of grunt that sees this world run Into its vicious privilege again and again But all he can let in is adrenaline Imagining ten trans feminists dismembering him And then trembling that his son'll become they/them And hate him not for what he's always been, but for what he won't become A man strong enough to unconditionally love someone And this where the tale stop As he holster the few feelings he's got And return to the good-dog logic of Cop [Chorus] There's a vast mass [?] in hell Where every cop ever's teargassing themself
