No, we don't need the fuckin' cops

Not when they're on the wrong side beating down the people on the picket line
F Dm A#
Doing the bidding of rich elite, to build the corporate state
[Chorus]
F
Because you know it just take one wrong look and
C
You'll find yourself in traction
Dm A#
From a choke and a fist and a club and boot to the face

Because you know it just takes one false statement
C
From a cop who's lying
Dm A#
And your rights they swore to protect become a memory

When they roll out looking for fights, a gang of armed thugs under flashing lights

Daring you to stand up for your rights so they can take your rights away!

Resistance begets arrest
F Dm A# F
Breaking your skull is a red letter day for a sick
