Lyrics Cops on the Subway - Charlie Allen

No justice and no peace
No respite and no release
This is the greatest country on the Earth
If you love getting fucked with and fleeced

One nation of two cliques
They share cities but never mix
One gets the comforting kisses of a mother or lover
The other the maw of the beast

They're putting cops on the subway
They're putting cops in the Subway restaurant
Y'all know we'll all be cops someday
Drone strike the homeless from your cabin in Vermont

How many murders does justice require?
Another grieving mother at another sham trial
So I don't think it's real, but I get the appeal of
Blaming reptilians or Jews

You're gonna scoff and you roll your eyes
Give Joe Arpaio a Nobel Peace Prize
But if you've got a landlord then you oughta know
That they protect and serve him before you

They're putting cops on the subway
They're putting cops in the Subway restaurant
Y'all know we'll all be cops someday
Drone strike the homeless from your cabin in Vermont

Surely the next law will fix us
Surely the next law will really do the trick
Some brand-new half-wit to scold me
A new committee of legalist hypocrites

They're putting cops in the schools, now
Got a whole precinct for only your front lawn
Y'all know we'll all be cops someday
And greet each other with a sidearm and baton

Excuse me, sir?
Excuse me, sir?
Excuse me, sir?
Am I being detained?
