Lyrics:
(Verse) Why do you have to force yourself with power and control? Why do 
you have to live your life playing up a role? Intimidating people with 
your wall of sight and sound, you and your kind destroy our underground. 
(Bridge) All of the happiness that you have destroyed, all the brutal 
tactics that you always employ. All the f**king bullsh*t, when will it 
ever stop? The comparison is obvious, you're just a f**king cop.
(Chorus) Officer-you act like an animal you're out of control. 
Officer-what the hell is wrong with you?
(Verse) Wear a tie if you want to wear a uniform, join the army if you 
want to conform. Tough guy, big man, do what you can. Whatever you 
destroy we'll create it again.
(Bridge) (Chorus)

Please let me know how I'm doing by 

Luke
