Cops of the World

By Phil Ochs

  E         A          E    A
  Come, get out of the way, boys
  E          A          E  E7
  Quick, get out of the way
  G            C              G    C
  You'd better watch what you say, boys
  G      C              B7
  Better watch what you say
        E                         A
  We've rammed in your harbor and tied to your port
          E                          A
  And our pistols are hungry and our tempers are short
      E          B7       E             A    G#m  A
   So bring your daughters around to the port
         B7                    E
  'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
  B7                    E
  We're the Cops of the World

    

We pick and choose as please, boys
  Pick and choose as please
  You'd best get down on your knees, boys
  Best get down on your knees
  We're hairy and horny and ready to shack
  We don't care if you're yellow or black
  Just take off your clothes and lie down on your back
  'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
  We're the Cops of the World

    

Our boots are needing a shine, boys
  Boots are needing a shine
  But our Coca-cola is fine, boys
  Coca-cola is fine
  We've got to protect all our citizens fair
  So we'll send a battalion for everyone there
  And maybe we'll leave in a couple of years
  'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
  We're the Cops of the World

    

Dump the reds in a pile, boys
  Dump the reds in a pile
   You'd better wipe of that smile, boys
  Better wipe off that smile
  We'll spit through the streets of the cities we wreck
  We'll find you a leader that you can't elect
  Those treaties we sighned were a pain in the neck
  'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
  We're the Cops of the World

    

Clean the johns with a rag, boys
  Clean the johns with a rag
  If you like you can use your flag, boys
  If you like you can use your flag
  We've got too much money we're looking for toys
  And guns will be guns and boys will be boys
  But we'll gladly pay for all we destroy
  'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
  We're the Cops of the World

    

Please stay off of the grass, boys
  Please stay off of the grass
  Here's a kick in the ass, boys
  Here's a kick in the ass
  We'll smash down your doors, we don't bother to knock
  We've done it before, so why all the shock?
  We're the biggest and toughest kids on the block
  'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
  We're the Cops of the World

    

When we butchered your son, boys
  When we butchered your son
  Have a stick of our gum, boys
  Have a stick of our buble-gum
  We own half the world, oh say can you see
  The name for our profits is democracy
  So, like it or not, you will have to be free
  'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
  We're the Cops of the World
