Cop - Alkaline Trio

Wonder what it was that made you this way?

Maybe as a baby, you dropped your rattle

It still rattles you to this day

You better practice your evil looks in the mirror, they don’t work on me

Slowly crawling up from the down low

The other cops still call you fatso

A short fuse and a top to blow

Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle

Your whole world dropped from under you

Left you with 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

It still toys with you to this day

You better practice your evil looks in the mirror, they don’t work on me

Slowly crawling up from the down low

The other cops still call you fatso

A short fuse and a top to blow

Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle

Your whole world dropped from under you

Left you with 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’ll tell my cell mates, I’ll forget about you

After the jail break, I’ll forget about you

After I’m through singing this song, I’ll forget about you

I’ll forget about you
