about

A song about Teddy, who wanted to be a policeman, but something went terribly wrong.

lyrics

I remember clearly.
When Teddy was a young boy.
I asked him what he wanted to be.
He told me "A policeman."
But little did I know.
That one day he'd explode.

Now he's a maniac cop.
A cop who's out to kill.
Think he's going to save you.
But I know he never will.

One day his store was getting robbed.
The clerk behind the counter.
He was my good friend Bob.
He rang the silent alarm.
And prayed he would be saved.
Then in came the maniac cop and shot off his head.

Now he's a maniac cop.
A cop who's out to kill.
Think he's going to save you.
But I know he never will.

The maniac cop just couldn't be stopped.
They shot him, burned him, and bombed him a lot.
I'm glad I lived to tell the story.
About maniac cop, and his misunderstood...glory.

Now he's a maniac cop.
A cop who's out to kill.
Think he's going to save you.
But I know he never will.
