"Bad Apple" lyrics

Racial statues are a virtue
Lick the boots and cuffs that hold you
Heavy arms, direct commands
Protect and serve, point and shoot

Boys in blue and scars and bruises
Badges, guns, owned by abusers
Fatal harm to kids unarmed defended on the news
Law and order all exploits us
Call your savage rabid watchdogs
Think fast in the boot of the car
Protect and serve this rotten fruit

Hang the pigs that hunt your daughters
Stop-and-search, lambs to the slaughter
Reprimands supercharged
Protect and serve, point and shoot

Officer, what seems to be the problem?

Racial statues are a virtue
Lick the boots and cuffs that hold you
Heavy arms, direct commands
Protect and serve, point and shoot

Section 8 means eviction
You're a target when you're homeless
Think fast in the boot of the car
Protect and serve this rotten fruit
Body cameras don't have the latter
Batteries die before it happens
Sound the alarm before your charged
With the crimes you didn't do

Hang the pigs that hunt your daughters
Stop-and-search, lambs to the slaughter
Reprimands supercharged
Protect and serve, point and shoot

Officer, what seems to be the problem?
Or can we only know post-mortem?

Officer, what is the problem?
Can we only know post-mortem?
Not just bad apples, it's a whole rotten tree
999 means know your rights
Protest, demos, unionise
Fight the law that fights you harder
Bite the red right hand that feeds you
Officer, what is the problem?
Can we only know post-mortem?
Not just bad apples, it's a whole rotten tree
999 means know your rights
Protest, demos, unionise
Fight the law that fights you harder
Bite the red right hand that feeds you

Officer, what seems to be the fucking problem?
