So call the cops

Tell 'em to come pick me up

They'll break out the cuffs

When I get there I'll act tough

Nurse can take my blood and piss

An HIV analysis

I won't sleep tonight

Florescent burn too bright

So come on down

Bail me out

Bm Dm

Don't act too concerned

The cops are bustin' all of us

Don't know who to trust

D Dm A

Yesterday we went too far

I hope that I can make some friends

Split some soggy Newport ends

They don't talk a lot

Now they're sleepin' in my cot

I'll call my mom,

Collect call that will make her cry

I'm a stupid son

I was only havin' fun

So come on down

Bail me out

Don't act too concerned

The cops are bustin' all of us

Don't know who to trust

Reading the tags on the wall

I can't believe you called the cops

Can't believe they picked me up

They broke out the cuffs

But I never acted tough

So come on down

Bail me out

Bm Dm

Don't act too concerned

The cops are bustin' all of us

Don't know who to trust

D Dm A

Yesterday we went too far
