The Cops! Lyrics by That Handsome Devil

Drugs & Guns for Everyone

2014

[Verse 1]
L-Late at night when you're fast asleep
The beast in the badge with the jagged teeth
Drag you to a place you ain't asked to be
Hassling and harassing me
Run!
Over fences and the benches through the slums
Run!
Jail ain't fun for the young
Run!
Past the drunks and the punks and the bums
You better run!

[Pre-Chorus]
You better drop your things and bounce
It's the cops!
You better get gone or get out
It's the cops!
They'll run up in your house
It's the cops! Run!
It's the cops! Run!
You better drop that shit and go
It's the cops!
They wanna know everything you know
It's the cops!
Or they won't let you go home
It's the cops! Run!
It's the cops! Run!

[Chorus]
And the sirens go
Oooh-oooh ooh ooh, oooh-oooh ooh ooh
Oooooh ooooooh
I hear the sirens go
Oooh-oooh ooh ooh , oooh-oooh ooh ooh
Oooooh ooooooh

[Post-Chorus]
Nobody gonna hold me down, nobody gonna hold me down
Ain't no way, ain't no how
Nobody gonna hold me down
Nobody gonna hold me down, nobody gonna hold me down
Ain't no way, ain't no how
Nobody gonna hold me down

[Verse 2]
Banging on the doors at night
Four in the morning looking for a fight
Drag you across the floor horrified
Don't go towards the lights
Run!
Over cars through the yards where you're from
Run!
Cause the cops are gonna come
You better run, you better run!
You better run!

[Pre-Chorus]
You better drop your things and bounce
It's the cops!
You better get gone or get out
It's the cops!
They'll run up in your house
It's the cops! Run!
It's the cops! Run!
You better drop that shit and go
It's the cops!
They wanna know everything you know
It's the cops!
Or they won't let you go home
It's the cops! Run!
It's the cops! Run!

[Chorus]
And the sirens go
Oooh-oooh ooh ooh, oooh-oooh ooh ooh
Oooooh ooooooh
I hear the sirens go
Oooh-oooh ooh ooh , oooh-oooh ooh ooh
Oooooh ooooooh

[Outro]
Somewhere in the holding cell it dawns on you
Your freedom don't belong to you
Somewhere in the city jail it dawns on you
Your freedom don't belong to you
Somewhere while you're sitting there it dawns on you
Your freedom don't belong to you
Somewhere in the county jail
Your freedom don't belong to you
