Oxymoron
Expand the simplest of chores
Oxymoron
Mr. constant consternation
And his declaration of war
Makes a fist out of demands
With his plasticene hands
Matey makes a big big deal
Oxymoron
And matey makes a big big meal
Oxymoron
Boasts of a conscience so big
It means his uniform wont fit
Cooking books and punching drunks
Working for the real crooks
The good cop
Oxymoron
The good cop
Oxymoron
I dont believe in the good cop
At the ticket inspector s party
Oxymoron
Prison guards eye store detectives
Oxymoron
All good fighters of crime
Same repeated chat-up line:
are you well tooled up?
Come and have a go if you think
Youre hard enough
Watch them tighten their straps
Oxymoron
Yes sir I switched on the taps
Oxymoron
Heads to crack, eyes to black
Beaurocrats will cover your tracks
Heres how dictatorships begin:
Fools obey without thinking
The good cop
Oxymoron
I dont believe in the good cop
Shiny button-down clown suit Oxymoron Expand the simplest of chores Oxymoron Mr. constant consternation And his declaration of war Makes a fist out of demands With his plasticene hands Matey makes a big big deal Oxymoron And matey makes a big big meal Oxymoron Boasts of a conscience so big It means his uniform wont fit Cooking books and punching drunks Working for the real crooks The good cop Oxymoron The good cop Oxymoron I dont believe in the good cop At the ticket inspector s party Oxymoron Prison guards eye store detectives Oxymoron All good fighters of crime Same repeated chat-up line: are you well tooled up? Come and have a go if you think Youre hard enough Watch them tighten their straps Oxymoron Yes sir I switched on the taps Oxymoron Heads to crack, eyes to black Beaurocrats will cover your tracks Heres how dictatorships begin: Fools obey without thinking The good cop Oxymoron I dont believe in the good cop Explain Request ×
