You wanna rely on all those stereotypes you like?
Yeah well how about this one
A jacked cop covered in tats with a crew cut
Looking for an adrenaline rush
Doesnt wanna be laughed out
Wants to make a name for himself
He wants his presence felt

He's a bully on a power trip
A coward on a footy trip
If it doesn't come to him
He’ll go find it

Hes a polly on a losing streak
A gamer with an audience
And you wonder why the Mum’s are yelling
“All cops are bastards”

It's a big blue hug from the brotherhood
While the black blood runs red
Blokes with the power to hurt and the power to stop people hurting them
An untimely end for the kid that he shot dead
Four months down the track he’ll be working for the force again

The Uluru Statement From the Heart
Another attempt from the oppressed at a new start
But we conquer and conquer again
Until the new start is a big white road, a car park, a cop shop and a fucking Kmart
Gold and soil and wealth for toil
Ya left ya kettle on the boil
A stick in the sand
A badge on the heart
A gun in the hand.

He's a bully on a power trip
A coward on a footy trip
If it doesn't come to him
He’ll go looking for it
He's a polly on a losing streak
A gamer with an audience
And you wonder why the Dad’s are yelling
“All Cops are Dogs”

It's a big blue hug from the brotherhood
While the black blood runs red
Blokes with the power to hurt and the power to stop people hurting them
An untimely grave for the kid he shot dead
Four months down the track he’ll be working for the force again

That’s another one for our Queen,
It’s another one that shouldn’t have been

And I'm not saying the kid was perfect
A traumatised kid with a shortened circuit
But you can't tell me he deserved this
You can't tell me this couldn’t have been avoided
You gotta gungho copper doesnt know what he’s serving
You got a cold hearted killer and he’s still working


He's a bully on a power trip
A coward on a footy trip
If it doesn't come to him
He’ll go find for it
He's a polly on a losing streak
A gamer with an audience
And you wonder why the Kid’s are yelling
“Fuck the Police”

It's a big blue hug from the brotherhood
While the black blood runs red
Blokes with the power to hurt and the power to stop people hurting them
An untimely grave for the kid he shot dead
Four months down the track he’ll be working for the force again

Yeah the force
The force for what?
I must’ve forgot.
