The Badge Means You Suck

So you think you know what terror is As it stares from the newspaper page Yeah of course you all know what horror is It's the rage of the age Well, intimidation doesn't have a focus It oozes from every pore Murder doesn't bother to whisper In this fucking town it roars Bodies awash in back bayous Bibles all full of holes Kill a captive to capture a criminal Badges where there ought to be souls Badges where there's got to be souls Badges where there's not any souls Well, I'd like to be smug and self-righteous And talk about courts setting criminals free Get me a nice little home near Conroe Where the neighbors are just like me But every time I see the uniform I realize I've had the luck To only read about their latest deeds And miss a fascist mind fuck Duck when you see 'em coming The badge means you suck A black man just back from 'Nam His folks thought he were a little bit odd Jogged at night to calm his nerves Always talking about god Well a black man running in the evening To a cop is a "nigger crook" They had two loaded revolvers Milton had just one book But he didn't had a chance to convert them Cause they wouldn't take a second look It took eight shots to stop Milton Glover And his Goddamn holy book Duck when you see' em coming Cause the badge means you suck Sprinkle bodies with their throw down revolvers Cover court transcripts with shit And if by chance you get found guilty Well you'll still get away with it Yeah the men who killed Jose Torres Never went to jail The sniper who picked off Carl Hampton Never paid any bail Well, the killers of Milton Glover They might be pulling you over tonight And if you happen to get shot Well I guess you started the fight Yeah I guess you started the fight They said you started the fight Bodies awash in back bayous Bibles all full of holes Kill a captive to capture a criminal Badges where there ought to be souls Well there's too much counterfeit money I don't need to pass no buck Gonna coin me a new slogan The badge means you suck The badge means you're fucked The badge means you suck
