lyrics

we were callin him the butcher man
the dead hung behind the glass of his eyes

everyone heard the shrieks behind shut doors
there were no rumours, just a city of lies

he was the butcher man
and you know, that he can
butcherman is killing tonight

just a man, doin his job
if he's asked for meat, he delivers
in his uniform, blue with bloody hands
but he washes them clean in the bloodred river of duty

he's a butcherman, he's a cop, sweeps the cold floor with a mop/mob
it's the bloodrush, it's the boredom, it's makin his living
and he just wants to give something back
for the highways built, for the insurance, for the health care and the freedom of never even being forced to decide. or care. or to doubt.
-----------------------------
he's got a stick and a gun and the skill to choke your will with his knee in your neck. how did the words (to that old song) go?
"what they want, I dont know….shoot him in the back now…", is, what he's told, and so he does
but
NO ONE HAS TO BE A COP
