If I Had a Face

Lyrics

[Chorus] If I had a face like yours If I had a face like yours If I had a face like yours If I had a face like yours [Verse 1] Brutal cops are back in swing Thanks to good old Rodney King Wrong time, wrong place Certainly the wrong color face Copters, radios, no escape Thank God for the videotape L.A.P.D. is a Mei Lai mob Uncle Gates still on the job Hey cop! To you we're all truncheon meat Giving new meaning to pounding the beat Pistols, rifles, shotguns, clubs, handcuffs and mace Swaggering like Rambo, a grimace on your face [Verse 2] They beat us, thеy beat you too Broken bones black and bluе Scheming reaming, very true No limit to what they'd do Coffee, donuts and lots of hate Sit back, cruise and wait Collar, leash, shock baton Helicopter, rooftop bomb Hey cop! Bragging how you kicked some ass How they begged, what a fuckin' blast! Those jiggerboos deserve it, "Gorillas in the Mist" Kicking the front door, your face clenched like a fist [Chorus] If I had a face, if I had a face If I had a face like yours If I had a face, if I had a face If I had a face like yours If I had a face, if I had a face If I had a face like yours If I had a face, if I had a face If I had a face like yours [Verse 3] Another night, another mess Another story in the press You swear that you do your best Just a little violence related stress Cold stone lies and lots of nerve Hope you get what you deserve Sworn to serve, power trusted Now you're the one busted Hey cop! Your sneer becomes a grin And your victim ain't smiling, you kicked his teeth in The criminal is bad enough, sneering cops are worse With a mug like that I'd walk shave butt in reverse [Chorus] If I had a face like yours If I had a face like yours If I had a face like yours If I had a face like yours [Verse 4] A few get fired, a few transferred Be more careful, have you heard Watch your step and watch your ass The public soon forgets the past Heard you yell, "Take him down!" All your might I hit the ground Billy club, a kidney whack Club on neck, knee in back Hey cop! Animal in blue Ugly is as ugly do You're ugly through and through Hey cop! If I looked like you do, you blue screw I'd hide out and hang out in the zoo
