young and dumb, truth and justice, fantasy
fresh out of the academy
five-time loser bust his head, make your day
unless you're paid off then you look away
do you thimk this corruption will ever stop
what makes a person want to be a cop
ran a red light, storm the house and bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry
pick up a hooker and take her for a little ride
but get sucked off on the side
sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing
badge-wearing facist villain
pissed in the street, you bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry
the badge means you suck
a child lies there dead
as you look back, what goes through your head
young and tough, truth and justice, fantasy
fresh out of the academy
five-time loser bust his head, make your day
unless you're paid off then you look away
he burned a flag, storm the house and bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry
ran a red light, take her for a little ride
but get sucked off on the side
the badge means you suck
a child lies there dead
as you look back, what goes through your head
talk to them, you can work it out
you better not even try it
you make a play for his gun
they'll kill you say it was a riot
RIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT

On Vinnie's own words:
"We grew up playing so many cover tunes and so many bands were our favorites. We would play all these songs in our rehearsal studio and finally decided we should record some of that stuff in case we ever had an opportunity to use it for something."
do i even need to say the meaning?
I wonder why these lyrics aren't also listed under Poison Idea.
