Lyrics
Rent-A-Cop
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you played hockey you couldn't get the "c"
That's no reason to take it out on me
In high school your grades were low D
That's no reason to take it out on me
You never made it into the police academy
That's no reason to take it out on me
Rent-a-cop Rent-a-cop
Your not real so why don't you stop?
Rent-a-cop Rent-a-cop
Your not real so why don't you stop?
Your new job has no decency
That's no reason to take it out on me
You have no real authority
That's no reason to take it out on me
A real cop is what you'll never be
That's no reason to take it out on me
Rent-a-cop Rent-a-cop
You should have stayed at the coffee shop
Rent-a-cop Rent-a-cop
Your not real so why don't you stop?
