The Badge - Pantera

Young and dumb, truth and justice fantasy

Fresh out of the academy

Five-time loser bust his head, make your day

Unless you’re paid off, then you look away

Do you think this corruption will ever stop?

What makes a person want to be a cop?

Ran a red light, storm his house and bust the guy

Do you like to see his children cry?

Pick up a hooker, take her for a little ride

But get sucked off on the side

Sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing

Badge-wearing fascist villain

Pissed on the street, you bust the guy

Do you like to see his children cry?

The badge means you suck, a child lays there dead

As you look back what goes through your head?

Some still call him pig

Some still call him pig

Young and dumb, truth and justice fantasy

Fresh out of the academy

Five-time loser bust his head, make your day

Unless you’re paid off, then you look away

He burned a flag, storm the house and bust the guy

Do you like to see his children cry?

Ran a red light, take her for a little ride

But get sucked off on the side

The badge means you suck, a child lays there dead

As you look back, what goes through your head?

Talk to them, you can work it out

You better not even try it

Make a play for his gun

They’ll kill you, say it was a riot

Riot!

What’s behind the badge?
