[Verse]
F Bb
Well California calls me conservative, Texas calls me a hippie,
C NC
My Louisiana friends all call me a Yank; I’m a redneck in New York City
F Bb
Try to get in where I fit in; there’s no shame in my game
C
But in every place there’s one other case that’s always the same
F
 
[Chorus]
Bb F
The police are assholes everywhere you go
C
From the little bitty cities to the big old towns
F
There’s an asshole on patrol
Bb F
The police are assholes, yeah you know it’s true
C
If you’re standing out there with a gun and a badge
F
Then you’re probably an asshole, too
 
F Bb
Now I ain’t much of the outlaw type; my arrest record’s pretty clean
C F
Except for the one time I peed in a cup and it come out kinda green
Bb
And I don’t make a cent– never had no intent to ruin anybody’s day
C F
I get a hard time for my good time; that’s why I always say
 
Bb F
The police are assholes everywhere you go
C
From the little bitty cities to the big old towns
F
There’s an asshole on patrol
Bb F
The police are assholes, yeah you know it’s true
C
If you’re standing out there with a gun and a badge
F
Then you’re probably an asshole, too

F Bb
Now you might be sitting there with a scowl on your face, sayin “police have a dangerous
job!”
C F
Well they all knew what they was getting into when they signed up to be a cop
Bb
I’d like to shake the hand of any man who actually protects and serves
C F
But this song’s for the assholes; I hope you get what you deserve
 
Bb F
The police are assholes everywhere you go
C
From the little bitty cities to the big old towns
F
There’s an asshole on patrol
Bb F
The police are assholes, yeah you know it’s true
C
If you’re standing out there with a gun and a badge
F
Then you’re probably an asshole, too
C
Said if you’re standing out there with a gun and a badge,
F
this song was written just for you
