See something – say something
Broken tail light?
Let ya off with a warning
C H O R U S
He’s patrolling the border
Between chaos and order
Just don't cross the thin blue line
Of the good cop/bad cop
Good cop/bad cop
V E R S E 2
Officer to dispatch
Subject spotted
Jefferson and Third
Matches the description
Black male, white sneakers
5-10,180
In pursuit on foot
Non-compliant with verbal commands
Suspect now fleeing
Down a dark alleyway
Running toward Jefferson
Another gangbanger trying to get away
Shots fired
Suspect down
C H O R U S 2
And now he’s insisting
The deceased was resisting
And his body cam was not online
That’s the good cop/bad cop
Good cop/bad cop
V E R S E 3
Ladies, Gentlemen
Of the jury
Decorated officer
Credit to the force
Loving husband
Devoted father
Loyal son
Friend of the community
Menacing suspect
Criminal record
Reached into his waistband
Officer responded
Fearing for his safety
Following protocol
His fate is in your hands
C H O R U S 3
His weapon was fired
He says it was required
That call can’t be yours or mine
Who’s the good cop/bad cop
Good cop/bad cop
V E R S E 4
Time for dinner
Say grace
Elbows off the table
Pass the ketchup
Dennis called
To say congratulations
He knew I’d beat it
Bowling next Tuesday
Listen to your mother
Finish your homework
Work hard
Play fair
When I grow up
Can I be a police man?
You can do anything
R E F R A I N
Good cop/bad cop, etc.
