"Police State" lyrics

I got me a badge, got me a gun
Someday I'm gonna get to shoot someone
Be in the paper, on TV
Everybody gonna wanna interview me

Police state, pepper spray
Beat and tase, escalate
Police state, it's okay
It's us that gets to investigate
Us that gets to investigate

Write some tickets, confiscate
Seize and misappropriate
Buy some gear and fancy guns
To use upon the citizens
I love civil forfeiture
It's making lots of money for
Cameras that won't film us when
Someone has an "accident"

Police state, pepper spray
Beat and tase, escalate
Police state, it's okay
It's us that gets to investigate
Us that gets to investigate

Ninety days with full pay
Time off just to contemplate
The fact that I can have my fun
No other cops will tell no one
Cruise my cruiser down the street
Why would I ever walk a beat
And locally familiarize?
Much more fun to militarize

Police state, pepper spray
Beat and tase, escalate
Police state, it's okay
It's us that gets to investigate
Us that gets to investigate
