Another conscious track from Bristol boys QELD. This one is a scathing yet insightful take on the role of the Police and the establishment.
SAMPLE:
- "When a person becomes a policeman, he has sold his class interests, he has crossed a class line, he is in the paid employment of the ruling class, he is a part of the private army of the ruling class which exists for the sole purpose of defending private property and profits."
VERSE 1:
JENRE
- Every day man, they're looking for a hoodie to pull
- It must be that the fuckery were bullied in school
- And as you live you get colder
- So they put the police number next to the chip on their shoulder
- No Scully or Mulder, they're cold and they're corrupt
- They hide behind their badge when they roll like little thugs
- So it's bound to erupt, and when the pigs just flip
- The 999 turns 666
- Reminds me of the world that we live in again
- Police get holidays for killing innocent men
- It's just age old power, blood, greed and lust
- MPs they protect these thieving fucks
- While they demonise benefit cheats & such
- Preaching guff
- Like how the filth are gonna clean us up?
- Acting mean & tough, it's so feeble
- They even turned man's best friend on the people
CHORUS:
JENRE & BOB SAVAGE
- ACAB
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ACAB
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
VERSE 2:
BOB SAVAGE
- ...Yo, bored to a standstill
- Wile E Coyote rap, ordering anvils
- Your evidence mountin' is more of an anthill
- I'll torture the kop like four-nil at Anfield
- Leave police forces corpses on landfills
- French Revolutionaries, Storming La Bastille
- Yo... it's unpleasantly surprising
- The 21st Century peasantry uprising
- Farm hands go in mad heavy
- Nestor Makhno with plans ready
- Framed by the state, Sacco & Vanzetti
- Bebop or Rocksteady, Splinter your group
- Leave lots of shops sweaty, stinking of zoot
- ...Bobby Charles De Menezes
- No smiley culture, I snarled when I said it
- Watch Prince Charles get beheaded, now start running cops
- Ian Tomlinson's back, with Mark Duggan socks!
CHORUS:
JENRE & BOB SAVAGE
- ACAB
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ACAB
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
VERSE 3:
JENRE
- [Jenre]
- I had a vision of more
- I feel like living's a chore
- I make beats, write bars, never written a score
- All they give us is war
- Stealing's only a sin if you're poor
- The rich don't get pigs who wanna kick in their door
- It's overcorrupt
- They say the system doesn't work, but you know that it does
- They get richer every day, we get totally fucked
- That's design, that ain't broken or bust
- Now they're hoping to crush...
- ...and take back what remains
- Of hard-won and now forgotten gains
- I see a lot has changed
- It's not the same, but we don't wanna return
- Just rebuild stronger from lessons we've learned
- Shit I gotta admit, I got a deep yearning
- To see PCs and MPs burning
- In the world that we make, there'll be no work for a wage
- A world that makes every dead cop turn in their grave
CHORUS:
JENRE & BOB SAVAGE
- ACAB
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ACAB
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
- ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
