Cop Lyrics by Dead Mermaids

You’re Welcome

0

[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
He started showing odd behavior when he was five
Choking kittens, pulling wings off of butterflies
Reading Edgar Allen Poe to go to sleep at night
Ma and pa'da knew my little brother wasn't quite right
[Verse 2]
Psychopath living life with no emotion
Dropping black hefty bags in the ocean
Chop you up in little pieces so neatly
Discard the pieces of your body so discreetly
[Verse 3]
Go through life with no empathy or feeling
Getting blood splattered on the walls and ceiling
Use a blade with precision like a samurai
Penetrates your vital organs when it's time to die
[Chorus]
We want to make your heartbeat stop
We want to make your breathing stop
We like to make your bodies drop
We probably should've been a cop
[Interlude]
Probably should've been a cop
Probably should've been a cop
Ooh
[Verse 4]
Never leaving any DNA or fingerprints
No one's gonna find your body there's no evidence
Psychopath makes it hard for you to sleep at night
He walks among us and he's hiding in plain sight
[Verse 5]
He's the quiet neighbor keeping to himself
Keeping trophies of his killings on a little shelf
He might work in the cubicle right next to you
Or a worker picking shit up at the petting zoo
Oh my god what the hell is this world coming to?
Strange voices in his head tell him to kill you
[Chorus]
We want to make your heartbeat stop
We want to make your breathing stop
We like to make your bodies drop
We probably should've been a cop
[Interlude]
Probably should've been a cop
Cop
Cop
We like to make your bodies drop
We probably should've been a cop
[Outro]
And now he's sitting in his cell
Another lunatic in jail
But if he had a badge and gun
He'd still be out there having fun
'Cause if the uniform is blue
Then no one tells you what to do
And no one tells you when to stop
He probably should've been a
Cop!
