Lyrics Alkaline Trio

Alkaline Trio

Cop

Wonder what it was that made you this way

Maybe as a baby you dropped your rattle

Still rattles you to this day

You better practice your evil looks in the mirror

They won't work on me

Slowly crawling up from the down low

The other cops still call you "Fatso"

A short fuse, a top to blow

Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle

Your whole world dropped from under you

Left you sorry excuses

Left you with meaningless things to prove

Like why you became a cop

Why did you become a cop?

Wonder what it was that made you this way

Maybe as a kid your toys were taken away

Still toys with you to this day

You better practice your evil looks in the mirror

They won't work on me

Slowly crawling up from the down low

The other cops still call you "Fatso"

A short fuse, a top to blow

Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle

Your whole world dropped from under you

Left you sorry excuses

Left you with meaningless things to prove

Like why you became a cop

Why did you become a cop?

Shut the fuck up

After my court date I'll forget about you

I tell my cellmates I'll forget about you

After the jailbreak I'll forget about you

After I'm through singing this song I'll forget about you

I'll forget about you.
