Lyrics

Hate the Police

[Verse 1]

Mommy, mommy, mommy

Look at your son

You might have loved me

But now I got a gun

[Chorus 1]

You better stay out of my way

I think I've had a bad day

I've had a bad day

I've had a bad day

[Verse 2]

Daddy, daddy, daddy

Proud of your son

Got himself a good job

Killing niggers and Mexicans

[Chorus 2]

I'll tell you one thing, it's true

You can't find justice, it'll find you

It'll find you

It'll find you

[Verse 3]

People tell policemen

They've met their match

Down in them desert sands

Mudhoney won't catch

[Chorus 3]

Mudhoney hates policemen, yes, it's true

You can't find justice, it'll find you

It'll find you

It'll find you

It'll find you

[Verse 4]

Mommy, mommy

Look at your son

You might have loved me

A gun

[Outro]

You better stay out of my way

I've had a bad day

I've had a bad day

Mommy, I've had a bad day

Mommy, I've had a bad day

Mommy
