Various Artists - The Badge lyrics

[Verse 1] Young and dumb, truth and justice, fantasy Fresh out of the academy Five-time loser bust his head, make your day Unless you're paid off then you look away Do you think this corruption will ever stop What makes a person want to be a cop Ran a red light, storm the house and bust the guy Do you like to see his children cry Pick up a hooker and take her for a little ride But get s**ed off on the side Sworn to serve and protect, forget the k**ing Badge-wearing fascist villain Pissed in the street, you bust the guy Do you like to see his children cry [Chorus] The badge means you s** A child lies there dead As you look back, what goes through your head Some still call him a pig [Verse 2] Young and tough, truth and justice, fantasy Fresh out of the academy Five-time loser bust his head, make your day Unless you're paid off then you look away He burned a flag, storm the house and bust the guy Do you like to see his children cry Ran a red light, take her for a little ride But get s**ed off on the side [Chorus] [Outro] Talk to them, you can work it out You better not even try it You make a play for his gun They'll k** you say it was a riot RIOT What's behind the badge?
