I'd tear the badge off, I'd scratch off my name

But to my hubris I am merely enslaved

And I know your words will haunt me to my grave

"Please officer I am not who you say!"

You have no rights save for what I decide

Then he took a nervous step back

So I took him down

Just in time, I was gettin' bored

And he's tellin' me

Stop it

But I never do

Please forgive me

My whole life I'd forsake

I drown every meal in a whiskey neat

It's my only hope to hide my deceit

And my whole family thinks I'm incomplete

But I keep some secrets that must die with me

His voice

Ringing

Through my

Head

And I'm telling him

Stop it

But he never does
