Lyrics
Protect and serve, slice my nerve
Gotta make sure everybody's gonna get what they deserve
I make my plea, down on my knees
Street cowboy with a badge that says you can do what you please
Do what you please, oh do what you please
Rape me, take me, shine your lights so I can't see
Holsters, guns, and uniforms just don't impress me
Blood stained streets, he looks pretty neat
Somebody's cryin' for help and he's breaking up my party
Please stop breathing down my neck
Took away something that's mine, I want you to give it back
You gotta give it back, oh give it back
Walk across my face with your shiny shoes
Bow down to the badge and the colors black and blue (one, two, three, four)
[Sirens]
It's a blue night, he rides tonight
A show of strength, a polished fight
Just take me home, 'cause I'm not alone
Just take me home, I'm not alone
Get ready
The squads breakin' down, but you misjudged power
Get your handcuffs ready, 'cause we're coming in numbers
