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 to look away.
Do you think this corruption will ever stop?
What makes a person wanna 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, take her for a little ride.
But get sucked off on the side.
Sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing,
Badge wearing fascist villain.
Pissed in the street, you bust the guy.
Do you like to see his children cry?
The badge means you suck, a child lays there dead.
As you look back, what goes through your head?
Some still call him pig.

You make a play for his gun.
They'll kill you: say it was a riot. Riot!!!

The sample at the beginning of this song is from one of the greatest movies ever made, namely "Taxi Driver".

its a poison idea cover its really good
Great song. It's from The Crow soundtrack if I'm not mistaken.
Yep, a Poison Idea cover from The Crow soundtrack. 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."
Two Words: Phil Anselmo
Yep, it is from the Crow soundtrack... do i even need to say the meaning?
For some reason most metal covers of punk songs miss the point completely, but this one is perfect. I think its because they pretty much left it alone (except for the extended guitar solo).
I wonder why these lyrics aren't also listed under Poison Idea.
Truer than ever today in 2022
