[Verse 1]
                              C#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
                 A#m                             F#
Not when they're up to no good, not when they're playing bully
                              C#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
                 A#m                               F#
Not when they're acting the thug, not when they're lying thru their teeth
                              C#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
                 A#m               F#
Not when they're on the wrong side beating down the people on the picket line
C#                   A#m            F#
Doing the bidding of rich elite, to build the corporate state


[Chorus]
                              C#
Because you know it just take one wrong look and
                G#
You'll find yourself in traction
       A#m                                         F#
From a choke and a fist and a club and boot to the face
                               C#
Because you know it just takes one false statement
       G#
From a cop who's lying
         A#m                                       F#
And your rights they swore to protect become a memory


[Verse 2]
                              C#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
              A#m                             F#
Not when they give you attitude, because they had a bad day
                              C#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
             A#m                           F#
Not when the tell you "SHUT UP!", when you never said a thing
                              C#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
               A#m                       F#
When they roll out looking for fights, a gang of armed thugs under flashing lights
C#                              A#m                F#
Daring you to stand up for your rights so they can take your rights away!


[Chorus]
                              C#
Because you know it just take one wrong look and
                G#
You'll find yourself in traction
       A#m                                         F#
From a choke and a fist and a club and boot to the face
                               C#
Because you know it just takes one false statement
       G#
From a cop who's lying
         A#m                                       F#
And your rights they swore to protect become a memory


[Post-Chorus]
                                C#  G#  A#m  F#
Yeah, we don't need the fuckin' cops
                              C#  G#  F#
No, we don't need the fuckin' cops
                          C#  G#  A#m  F#
We don't need the fuckin' cops
F#      G#
No, no, no need the fuckin' cops

C#
Violence and oppression and brutality

Intimidate the masses rules 1, 2, 3...
  C#         A#m    F#
Resistance begets arrest
C#                       A#m        F#        C#
Breaking your skull is a red letter day for a sick
                A#m      F#
Fuck cop with a badge to prey
C#                    A#m         F#
Never say no when the orders come in
       C#                        A#m         F#
Always side with the ride on the side of the rich

Don't need the cops
               C#
Don't need the cops

The fuckin' cops
            C#
The fuckin' cops

You'll find yourself in traction
       A#m                                         F#
