Cover art for Cop lyrics by Alkaline Trio

im a big alkaline trio fan but i really don't like this song very much cuz my dads a cop..but i also don't think its fair that cops get bashed like this in so many song. they are just trying to do their job..sure some of them are asssholes but most of them are just nice guys who got stuck with a shitty job and hate it...ive seen some other songs about cops that are just really mean and haeful but this one actually has a little bit of truth to it. so can we just lay off cops for a while and find someone else to take our anger out on. i know that posting this is only gonna result in a lot of people telling me that im stupid and how much they hate cops but try to imagine whats its like for a little kid who looks up to thier dad to hear something like this. didnt anyone ever look up to their dad...can u imagine how bad you would feel if someone wrote a song like this about your idol...well let me tell ya it really fucks up a kids childhood
