Dear Bad Cop

There's too many bad cops out there
Too many bad cops out there
Making our lives so unfair
When will the system start to care?
Too many bad cops out there

Dear bad cop why have you stopped me?
I'm interested in hearing why
Is it cause I don't look like you?
Is it cause I look the way I do?
Will you ticket me, arrest me or just shoot me down?

There's too many bad cops out there
Too many bad cops out there
Making our lives so unfair
When will the system start to care?
Too many bad cops out there

At night how do you sleep when you know there are innocent people
Whose lives, including mine, you've dampened somehow?
We've lost money, jobs and given time
And in some cases we've lost our minds
Doesn't your conscience ever bother you when you close your eyes?

There's too many bad cops out there
Too many bad cops out there
Making our lives so unfair
When will the system start to care?
Too many bad cops out there

I'd like to thank all the good cops cause I'm told there's a lot
But the bad seeds among your bunch
Makes it hard to define (what are you really?)
How can we trust you when you turn a blind eye
On corrupt cops that walk by your side?
So be outstanding officers and expose the rot

There's too many bad cops out there
Too many bad cops out there
Making our lives so unfair
When will the system start to care?
Too many bad cops out there

Put your hands behind your back
Are the cuffs tight enough?
Well I don't care
If you look at me wrong I'll switch of my body cam
I'll fabricate the report if I decide to bang, bang

Bang, bang
Please don't shoot cause I did nothing wrong
Bang, bang
Officer, officer please
Bang, bang
Tell me what I did before you pull the trigger on that gun
Bang, bang
You just, you just shot me
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
