Cops of the World |
Come, get out of the way, boys |
Quick, get out of the way |
You’d better watch what you say, boys |
Better watch what you say |
We’ve rammed in your harbor and tied to your port |
And our pistols are hungry and our tempers are short |
So bring your daughters around to the fort |
'cause we’re the cops of the world, boys |
We’re the cops of the world |
We pick and choose as we please, boys |
Pick and choose as we please |
You’d best get down on your knees, boys |
Best get down on your knees |
We’re hairy and horny and ready to shack |
And we don’t care if you’re yellow or black |
Just take off your clothes and lay down on your back |
'cause we’re the cops of the world, boys |
We’re the cops of the world |
Our boots are needing a shine, boys |
Boots are needing a shine |
But our Coca-Cola is fine, boys |
Coca-Cola is fine |
We’ve got to protect all our citizens fair |
So we’ll send a battalion for everyone there |
And maybe we’ll leave in a couple of years |
'cause we’re the cops of the world, boys |
We’re the cops of the world |
And dump the reds in a pile, boys |
Dump the reds in a pile |
You’d better wipe off that smile, boys |
Better wipe off that smile |
We’ll spit through the streets of the cities we wreck |
And we’ll find you a leader that you can’t elect |
Those treaties we signed were a pain in the neck |
'cause we’re the cops of the world, boys |
We’re the cops of the world |
And clean the johns with a rag, boys |
Clean the johns with a rag |
If you like you can use your flag, boys |
If you like you can use your flag |
We’ve got too much money, we’re looking for toys |
And guns will be guns and boys will be boys |
But we’ll gladly pay for all we destroy |
'cause we’re the cops of the world, boys |
We’re the cops of the world |
Please stay off of the grass, boys |
Please stay off of the grass |
Here’s a kick in the ass, boys |
Here’s a kick in the ass |
We’ll smash down your doors, we don’t bother to knock |
We’ve done it before, so why all the shock? |
We’re the biggest and toughest kids on the block |
'cause we’re the cops of the world, boys |
We’re the cops of the world |
And when we’ve butchered your son, boys |
When we’ve butchered your son |
Have a stick of our gum, boys |
Have a stick of our bubblegum |
We own half the world, oh say, can you see? |
And the name for our profits is democracy |
So like it or not, you will have to be free |
'cause we’re the cops of the world, boys |
We’re the cops of the world |
