  			E                           B 
well let me tell you why I dont like cops 
          Db                       A 
well the story starts when my boy Davers got dropped 
            E 
in the streets 
                                B 
by the car that swerved to the curb 

and almost hit me 
 Db                         A 
so Davers flipped him the bird 
                     E 
ya know he with he didn't 
and then the guy he knew we slide in standing 
two men got out and then the shit hit the fan 
as they ran 
to a man on the streets 
they pick him up off his feet 
and witnesses just standing around 
watching him get beat to the ground 
so Davers pleaded and tried to steal away from the man 
until his friends on the side came in and gave him a hand 
first one in was Rob 
with his right hook from way back far 
and layed him out 
over the hood of the car 
and everything was goin, well just as planned 
until the two men started screamin 
officer down

E                              B 
no one knew that they were the RCMP 
          Db 
because, they were off from duty 
       A 
had no uniforms or badges to see 
to show their true identity 
well Rob said they just looked like gangsters to me 
and beating up on society 
so I had to jump in to set my friends free 


E                A        C  
well how do you sleep at night 
        B 
I feel sorry 
E             A        C 
you know that its not right 
              B 
to get your glory 
by pushing people around 
you put them down to the ground 
but everybodys got the same fuckin story 
about how ya done nothing for them now 
and how you done almost nothing for no one 
so get your badge and your gun 
and get that man on the run 
the one thats done nothing wrong 
but you dont seem to care 
well it makes me so mad 
because it's so unfair 
and steady charged for assaulting an officer 
a middle finger thrown up into the air 
and now he asks to go to court 
and get a lawyer 

E 
well in the courtroom I hope the judge speaks 
B 
'down with interegation.. 
Db                              A 
assault and obstruction, the charges that you're facing 
E                               B 
I should lock you up and throw away the key' 
Db                                  A 
and Rob said they just looked like gangsters to me 
gangsters to me, gangsters to me 

E            A           C 
That's why I dont like cops 
       B 
or the RCMP 
those fuckin piggies are just gangsters to me, yea 
whatever happened to the 'serve and protect'? no no 
you throw your powers around 
and you still expect me to take it laying down 
down on the ground 
for me to take it laying down 
down on the ground 
down on the ground
