Cops Of The World Lyrics

    pre>e a e    a
    Come, get out of the way, boys
    E a e e7
    Quick, get out of the way
    G c g c
    You'd better watch what you say, boys
    G c b7
    Better watch what you say
    E a
    We've rammed in your harbor and tied to your port
    E a
    And our pistols are hungry and our tempers are short
    E b7 e a g#m a
    So bring your daughters around to the port
    B7 e
    'cause we're the cops of the world, boys
    B7 e
    We're the cops of the world

    We pick and choose as please, boys
    Pick and choose as 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
    We don't care if you're yellow or black
    Just take off your clothes and lie 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

    Dump the reds in a pile, boys
    Dump the reds in a pile
    You'd better wipe of that smile, boys
    Better wipe off that smile
    We'll spit through the streets of the cities we wreck
    We'll find you a leader that you can't elect
    Those treaties we sighned were a pain in the neck
    'cause we're the cops of the world, boys
    We're the cops of the world

    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

    When we butchered your son, boys
    When we butchered your son
    Have a stick of our gum, boys
    Have a stick of our buble-gum
    We own half the world, oh say can you see
    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
