Waiting For the Cop to Leave

CEE

Oh, yay
He came around to the back
As If
I wouldn’t answer Now, if
I swallowed my uvula
I told Barney Fife, on the phone
What the problem was
I told him, “because, it’s a crime”,
When he asked what was expected of Them
I told him, noooo, I don’t want to talk with anyone,
I just want it taken care of
It isn’t being taken care of
So, I then get the knock, not the perps

You know why Joe Good Citizen, gets the knock,
In Pleasantville, USA?
3, count ‘em, 3:
1) The cops want to be the ones to “discover” a crime
Translation: traffic tickets/headline murders ONLY
2) You aren’t supposed to tell Them
Translation: the uniform really Does change a person
3) We live in an Amerika of “shut up and sit down”
Translation: “Shut up and sit down!
Now, place your hands behind your conscience
And interlock your free will”
