It's not a matter of good cops versus an occasional bad cop, but of possibly well-intentioned rookies entering an inherently oppressive institution.
lyrics
Complaint to the boys in blue: Answer questions please. I been led to believe that your job is on the side of good. Community. Protect who? Serve whose needs? All my wishes don't believe in luck when you arrive on scene. If you were there then you'd be scared. Then you'd see why. Coppers never lie? I agree it's not a pretty life with casualties. But that don't mean a thing when you take advantage of your badge and badger me. Don't you have stuff to seize? Don't shoot 'cause I plain forgot to fuckin' freeze. Definition for your training school slash murder course. Hired Gun Lethal Force. Don't you see you're just a bully for the moneyed scene? Order you to do their thing. Break a strike or start a riot, rotten apples shouldn't take the heat.
