Luxury Apartments - Dicks Hate The Police

  


  A brief history lesson. 

  Back in 1980, a punk band from Austin, Texas called The Dicks released a classic protest song sung from the perspective of an unhinged cop. It was called The Dicks Hate The Police. You should already know and love it but just in case :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLd2LB4-6co




Mommy, mommy, mommy
Look at your son
You might have loved me
But now I've got a gun
You'd better stay out of the way
I think I've had a bad day
Had a bad day
I've had a bad day

Daddy, daddy, daddy
Proud of his son
He's got him a good job
Kills n*****s and Mexicans
I'll tell you something, and it's true
You can't find justice, it'll find you
Yeah, it'll find you
Yeah, it'll find you

People tell policemen
They've met their match
They planted on desert sand
The Dicks were hatched
Dicks hate policemen and it's true
You can't find justice, it'll find you
Yeah, it'll find you
Yeah, it'll find you
Maybe you once loved me
But now I've got a gun
You'd better stay out of my way
Hey! I've had a bad day
I've had a bad day
Mommy, I've had a bad day
Oh, I've had a bad day
Mommy, I've had a bad day
