So call the cops
Tell 'em to come pick me up
They'll break out the cuffs
When I get there I'll act up
Nurse can take my blood and piss
An hiv analysis
I won't sleep tonight
Flourescent burn too bright
So come on down
Bail me out
Don't act too concerned
The cops are bustin' all of us
Don't know who to trust
Yesterday we went too far
I hope that I can make some friends
Split some soggy newport ends
They don't talk a lot
Now they're sleepin' in my cot
I'll call my mom,
Collect call that will make her cry
I'm a stupid son
I was only havin' fun
So come on down
Bail me out
Don't act too concerned
The cops are bustin' all of us
Don't know who to trust
Reading the tags on the wall
I can't believe you called the cops
Can't believe they picked me up
They broke out the cuffs
But I never acted tough
So come on down
Bail me out
Don't act too concerned
The cops are bustin' all of us
Don't know who to trust
Yesterday we went too far
