lyrics

Some people have nothing to do
with their time but commit crime
These dirty rotten scums of the Earth
deserve the worst
Yeah they're not worth
the tax dollars that you and I shell
out of our pockets to pay for their cell
If they could only see things like I do
they'd be content to let life go by you
should grow up and shave and get a job
and be more than a bump on a log
Be a student or a businessman
and try to fit in the best you can
And for all of this you'll receive a reward
but only if you can afford
and best car and clothes and brand new shoes
If you look real sharp than you can't lose

I saw you run a red light
I'm gonna call the cops on you
I saw you urinating in public
I'm gonna call the cops on you
I saw you make an obscene gesture
and I'm gonna call the cops on you

Dah doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doo
I'm gonna call the cops on you

Some people have nothing to do
except for point their fingers at you
Telling you that what you're doing is wrong
while they buy their 8-year-old a thong
And then they go and vote republican
or democrat. I don't get that
It's almost like a self-parody
They're everywhere
Say a prayer for we

I saw you throw a party
I'm gonna call the cops on you
I saw illegal paraphernalia in your drawer
I'm gonna call the cops on you
I saw you smoking drugs
and I'm gonna call the cops on you

Dah doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doo
I'm gonna call the cops on you
Yeah I'm talking to you
