Overall Meaning

The lyrics to John Maus's song Cop Killer describe a violent and illegal act, encouraging listeners to kill police officers. The repetition of the phrase "cop killer" emphasizes the message and makes it clear that this is not just a passing thought or an empty threat. Maus's use of language is deliberate in portraying the police as the targets of violence, and he does not offer any justification for this action.


The lyrics also touch on the theme of breaking the law. Maus seems to be acknowledging that killing a police officer is against the law, but in doing so, he suggests that he is rebelling against an unjust system. The use of the phrase "against the law" at the end of the final line adds to this theme, suggesting that Maus is willing to do what is necessary to upend the status quo.


Overall, the lyrics to Cop Killer are confrontational and provocative, encouraging listeners to embrace violence as a means of achieving political change. While it is unclear whether Maus is advocating for this form of action, his lyrics make it clear that he is not shy about exploring controversial and potentially dangerous ideas.
