lyrics

They never saw it coming
Tied a noose out of the silence and choked
Now everyone knows
And it's just you that's not in on the joke

Forget what we say
And ignore the wicked things that we do
It's not your fight
It never even mattered to you

False start
False hope
False Claim
True crime

Just like a TV show cop
a TV show cop
a TV show cop
Auē! Auē!

Mobilise all forces
Nullify all causes for dissent
Weaponise generations of mistrust

False start
False hope
False Claim
True crime

Another TV show cop
A TV show cop
A TV show cop
Auē! Auē!

Your stare it makes me nervous
Your protocol is weak
No respect for the people or the land
That's crying our beneath our feet
Guard the interests of our nation
Or so the papers say
Kaitiakitanga,
Mana Wahine,
It's them who show the way

But you
You're just a TV show cop
Another cartoon villain
Another bad attitude with a flat top hairdo
Aue! Aue!
