No, we don't need the fuckin' cops

Not when they're acting the thug, not when they're lying thru their teeth
A#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
Gm D#
Not when they're on the wrong side beating down the people on the picket line
A# Gm D#
Doing the bidding of rich elite, to build the corporate state
[Chorus]
A#
Because you know it just take one wrong look and
F
You'll find yourself in traction
Gm D#
From a choke and a fist and a club and boot to the face
A#
Because you know it just takes one false statement
F
From a cop who's lying
Gm D#
And your rights they swore to protect become a memory

No, we don't need the fuckin' cops

Not when the tell you "SHUT UP!", when you never said a thing

When they roll out looking for fights, a gang of armed thugs under flashing lights
A# Gm D#
Daring you to stand up for your rights so they can take your rights away!
[Chorus]
A#
Because you know it just take one wrong look and
F
You'll find yourself in traction

Misconduct as a mandate that's the police way

Intimidate the masses rules 1, 2, 3...
A# Gm D#
Resistance begets arrest
A# Gm D# A#
Breaking your skull is a red letter day for a sick

Always side with the ride on the side of the rich
