"Call the cops..." 2) Call the Cops…, formed in ‘04, is a class struggle punk rock band based out of Baltimore, Maryland.
Tess (vocals), Dan the Cannibal (vocals/harmonica), John (drums), Al (Bass)and Nick (guitar). Original cast of Tom, Dan, Al and Brian for the beginning conception and first two songs quickly changed with the addition of members from Enemy Ancestor and Brian dropping the guitar for Nick to pick up.
Disbanded as of '07 to pursue other projects including Perdition (NY), Sheltershock (MD), Sacri-fidelis (MD), and Drunk again (MD).
"Call the cops" 3) While being together during the same time as the 2) Call The Cops, this line up hailed from the Arizona deserts. The original line up was Jon(vocals), Shaun(guitar), Zach(of Coughing Up Blood and Get Destroyed, bass), and Dustin (drums). The first practice they had in Dustin's garage (in which the cops were called) then Shaun's dad found an empty office for them to practice in on Sundays at the Lexus dealership where he worked. After a few practices with Dustin he was replaced with Nik and they stopped practicing at the Lexus Dealership. Eventually they recorded numerous times and were scheduled to have a 7" put out on 625. After kicking Shaun out and not finding a replacement the band fell apart and the record was never released. However, almost two years after the band's demise four of their demo tracks appeared on the 625 "Trapped In A Scene" Comp.
Zach and Nik now play guitar and drums in Get Destoryed, Jon plays drums in Think Fast, and Shaun is still the biggest Ohio State fan you will ever meet in your entire life.
"Call the cops" 4) A 4-piece rotten raw drunk punk band based in Bologna, Italy. All Cops Are Bastards.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll teach you something like that
And I know you like it like that
You've heard, about my reputation
Of rumors spread by haters
Just stories they created
That what if this gets out
And everybody knows it
The way you make me feel
Is it wrong to go along
Or does it feel right
You can't say this ain't real
Even though you're still with him
It's just a matter of time
And you can quote me when I say
So what if your friends can't keep a secret
It's alright
If it gets back to what's his name, I don't mind
And if it's a problem, he knows where to find me
If you wanna say something
And tell his friends I say the same
'Cause you know I like it like that
And I'll teach you something like that
And I know you like it like that
You swear, but I know you like the drama
How everybody's talkin' about you
Waitin' in the corner
You say, It's such an awful game
If you can't admit the truth about it
I'll just take the blame
The way you make me feel
Is it wrong to go along
Or does it feel right
You can't say this ain't real
Even though you're still with him
It's just a matter of time
And you can quote me when I say
So what if your friends can't keep a secret
It's alright
If it gets back to what's his name, I don't mind
And if it's a problem, he knows where to find me
If you wanna say something
And tell his friends I say the same
I'm telling you it's alright
If he finds out
I don't mind
'Cause I got nothing, I got nothing left to lose
I'm telling you it's alright
If he finds out
I don't mind
'Cause I got nothing, I got nothing left to prove
'Cause if it's a problem
He knows where to find me
If he wants to say something (something)
And tell his friends I said the same
So what if your friends can't keep a secret
It's alright
If it gets back to what's his name, I don't mind
And if it's a problem, he knows where to find me
If you wanna say something
And tell his friends I say the same
'Cause you know I like it like that
And I'll teach you something like that
And I know you like it like that
