Lyrics

Wonder what it was that made you this way

Wondering about the cause of your current behavior or state of mind

Maybe as a baby you dropped your rattle

Speculating that a childhood incident might have impacted you

And it still rattles you to this day

Suggesting that the childhood incident still affects you

You better practice your evil looks in the mirror

Advising to practice looking evil, but it doesn't affect the speaker

They don't work on me

Asserting immunity to the attempted manipulation


Slowly crawling up from the down low

Slowly rising from a low point

The other cops still call you 'fatso'

Being called derogatory names by colleagues

Short fuse and a top to blow

Having a short temper ready to explode

Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle

Describing personal problems leading to alcohol abuse


Your whole world dropped from under you

Experiencing a sudden downfall

Left you with sorry excuses

Left with unsatisfactory justifications for actions

Left you with meaningless things to prove

Left with meaningless things to prove oneself

Like why you became a cop

Questioning the reason for choosing to become a police officer

Why did you become a cop?

Repeating the query about becoming a cop, seeking an answer


Wonder what it was that made you this way

Reflecting again on the cause of current behavior

As a boy your toys were taken away

Recalling childhood where possessions were taken

And it still toys with you to this day

Suggesting lingering effects from the childhood incident

You better practice your evil looks in the mirror

Reiterating the advice to practice looking evil, to no effect

They don't work on me

Reaffirming immunity to attempted manipulation


Slowly crawling up from the down low

Describing a slow rise from a low point

The other cops still call you 'fatso'

Continued use of derogatory terms by colleagues

Short fuse and a top to blow

Reiteration of having a short temper

Unhappy wife, shitty life, hit the bottle

Repeating personal struggles leading to alcoholism


Your whole world dropped from under you

Emphasizing a sudden downfall from a former state

Left you with sorry excuses

Left with inadequate justifications

Left you with meaningless things to prove

Left with meaningless goals or attempts to prove oneself

Like why you became a cop

Repeating the inquiry about becoming a cop, seeking understanding

Why did you become a cop?

Continued seeking of the rationale behind becoming a police officer

Shut the fuck up.

Expression of frustration or dismissal


After my court date

After the speaker's court date, they'll forget about the person

I'll forget about you

Intent to forget about the person while in prison

I'll tell my cellmate

Planning to inform a fellow inmate about forgetting the person

I'll forget about you

Reiteration of the intention to forget while incarcerated


After the jail break

After a jailbreak, the intent to forget remains

I'll forget about you

Reiterating the plan to forget after escaping jail

After I'm through singing this song

Even after singing the song, the intention to forget remains

I'll forget about you, I'll forget about you!

Final reaffirmation of the desire to forget
