Artist/Band: Phil Ochs
Lyrics for Song: Cops Of The World
Lyrics for Album: In Concert [1990]



Come, get out of the way, boys


Quick, get out of the way


You'd better watch what you say, boys


Better watch what you say





We've rammed in your harbor and tied to your port


And our pistols are hungry and our tempers are short


So bring your daughters around to the port


'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys





We're the Cops of the World


We pick and choose as please, boys


Pick and choose as please


You'd best get down on your knees, boys





Best get down on your knees


We're hairy and horny and ready to shack


We don't care if you're yellow or black


Just take off your clothes and lie down on your back





'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys


We're the Cops of the World


Our boots are needing a shine, boys


Boots are needing a shine





But our Coca-cola is fine, boys


Coca-cola is fine


We've got to protect all our citizens fair


So we'll send a battalion for everyone there





And maybe we'll leave in a couple of years


'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys


We're the Cops of the World


Dump the reds in a pile, boys





Dump the reds in a pile


You'd better wipe of that smile, boys


Better wipe off that smile


We'll spit through the streets of the cities we wreck





We'll find you a leader that you can't elect


Those treaties we sighned were a pain in the neck


'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys


We're the Cops of the World





Clean the johns with a rag, boys


Clean the johns with a rag


If you like you can use your flag, boys


If you like you can use your flag





We've got too much money we're looking for toys


And guns will be guns and boys will be boys


But we'll gladly pay for all we destroy


'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys





We're the Cops of the World


Please stay off of the grass, boys


Please stay off of the grass


Here's a kick in the ass, boys





Here's a kick in the ass


We'll smash down your doors, we don't bother to knock


We've done it before, so why all the shock?


We're the biggest and toughest kids on the block





'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys


We're the Cops of the World


When we butchered your son, boys


When we butchered your son





Have a stick of our gum, boys


Have a stick of our buble-gum


We own half the world, oh say can you see


The name for our profits is democracy





So, like it or not, you will have to be free


'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys


We're the Cops of the World
