Lyrics

So was a cop stop roadblock for inspection stickers Maybe it was hot Maybe the cop was assigned to the detail for punishment Maybe he had witnessed some domestic violence shit last night That once again made him lose faith in humanity I don't know and I don't care cause he's an asshole And he's pissing and he's barking orders in front of my 10-year-old Who's now afraid and think of the cops as something to be feared Hey, fuckface I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs to be respected But we have no respect for you Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot We're at the 7/11, my kid's getting in the car with his Big Gulp and his hot dog And he leaves the door open while he gets things adjusted Cop pulls up tryin' to get into the space next to us And he blasts his siren My kid jumps, smashes his foot in the door As the cop struts by not smilin' not sayin' he's sorry Just tryin' to look all macho and garner the respect he never got in high school Hey, fuckface I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs to be respected But we have no respect for you Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot Skateboard park in Chappaqua Rumor has it that the cops were supposed to get a raise But a skateboard park got built instead Cop buzzin' around like flies on shit Harassin' kids so they finally shut it down, it just wasn't worth it I was there when it was closed, readin' the bulletin board with my 10-year-old Cop threw us out I said "You don't have anything better to do?" He said "What did you say?" I said "Listen you fuckin' idiot Know at the end of your life you've done nothing righteous You're a worthless piece of shit" Actually I didn't say that cause I didn't wanna get shot But what I shoulda said was "Hey fuckface I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs to be respected But we have no respect for you Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot" Three cops enter our building from the rear Lookin' all serious as my son and I enter My son says "Why are they here? This makes me nervous" So I say "Excuse me, you're coming in my building, this makes my son nervous" Thinking, but not saying, cause I don't wanna get shot "Would it kill you to reassure the kid while you're hangin' around?" And one of the cops says "We're the good guys" Um...uh...I don't know what alternative planet you're living on But you're definitely not the good guys Hey, fuckface I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs to be respected But we have no respect for you Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot And I'm white
