Used to be in a gang
'Till I beat a kid half dead
In a video arcade
Judge gave me a choice: Jail or the Marines
Best time I ever had was being an MP
Aw yeah!
I wish I was down in El Salvador
Where I could jerk off with my gun
And kill the poor
More gang busts after I'm discharged
Got on offer from police
Surprise! We'll wipe your record clean
If you'll become one of us
You've got just the skills we need
For the government's official gang
Robothug Riot Squad
I want more
Aw yeah!
I wish I was down in El Salvador
Where I could jerk off with my gun
And kill the poor
We're just countin' days
'Til we can do it up here
Well, Officer Friendly -
What does Elmer the Safety Elephant (1)
Have to say about this...?
Well, good buddy
I''ll bet he says you can't do this
ARGH!
Or this
ARGH!
Or this
ARGH!
Or even this
ARGH!
Ah, ah, ah!
Well, my leveled headed uniform friend
Shot a handcufed 12 years old to death
In the back of their patrol car
“His toy gun looked real, I had to defend myself..."
(I'm always lookin' for excuses to defend myself!)
People are storming out into the streets
People are pouring out into the streets
They hate me, they hate me
It look like I am gonna have to defend myself
NOW!
It's party time!!!
I look at you and smolder
With my nightstick and my shield
Little kids throw rocks at me
Their moms call me a pig
Commander says I gotta hold the line
'Til the TV cameras leave
Then we'll fire away, make my day
Just like good ol' Kent State (2)
Why wait!
It'll be just like down in El Salvador
Gonna jerk off with my gun
And kill the poor
Be a big man with my gun
And kill the poor
Jerk off with my gun
I think I'm gonna kum
Then I'll kiss my gun good night
And put her under my pillow
Ah!
