Talkin' Thin Line Blues Lyrics

They cruise around the neighborhood

With protect and serve on the side of their car

But if you need help I'd stay away

That thin blue line is a masquerade

You're more likely to get arrested or shot

And they murder people without recourse

So long as they say the law was being enforced

And they'll make an excuse like they felt threatened

Or the person they killed was holding a weapon

You know like a remote control or a cell phone or anything else a person might hold

So we keep having these big protests

To try and put a stop to all the police violence

But they decided to attack us in the streets

And charge some protestors with inciting riots

Guess the first amendment only applies when your burning crosses

And I keep hearing people say "blue lives matter"

Like cops had their gun and badge en utero

But they made a conscious choice go be complicit

That's why the proper sayings is "black lives matter" and "all cops are bastards"

Even your uncle and Detective Pikachu and Inspector Gadget and Harry Potter and Naruto

If you count the strings on my guitar

You'll notice there's one missing at the end right there

'Cause I only use 11 strings in songs myself

'Cause everybody knows

FUCK 12

Cop killer, better you than me

Cop killer, fuck police brutality

Ice-T said that

And if you're still not sure you understand

The only good cop's six feet underground

I said that
