Police academy
When policemen do their training
And they’re in the policeman class
They teach them regulations
Then brainwash them en masse
.
The laws the law and that is that
There can be no exception
And everyone’s a criminal
Watch out for their deception
.
Well versed in condescension
They practice every day
To annoy and then belittle you
For what you do or say
.
They persecute the motorist
For the speed that he achieves
Because it’s so much safer
Than going after thieves
.
“Good morning sir, is this your car”
Then asks what speed you’ve done
You tell him it was thirty
He says “it’s thirty one”
.
Oh why do policemen have to be
The way that we all find
Why can't we send them back to school
To help reclaim their mind
