“Officer Down” is an attempt to broaden the dialogue around police violence and race relations in America by telling two sides of an inter-related story.
One perspective addresses frustration and rage around violence towards police; particularly the senseless assassinations of innocent officers who put themselves in harm’s way in the process of doing their jobs. The companion perspective addresses the repeated and unjustified manslaughter by police of innocent black American citizens and the lack of consequences for the officers involved.
Systems of oppression are only broken from the inside out. “Officer Down” is an attempt to look inside the system so that we can break free of the narratives and create a new one.
Official audio for 'Officer Down' by Bad Wolves from the new album 'Disobey.'

Lyrics:
911, what's your emergency?
Pull the trigger on this nigga let's go
I'm sayin' hands up, don't shoot
Another finger on the trigger ain't afraid of truth
Don't wanna be in trouble 'til you see a motherfucker
That is only undercover that'll fuck with you
Fists up, drop the cuffs
That's the price you've gotta pay
A gun and a badge was a thing on the past
Protect us, I'm no slave
Another case and acquittal
Another wife turned a widow
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Another heart breaks a little
A child left in the middle
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Another officer down
I see them lights flash, hit the gas
No one wants to hear the truth
So you wanted me to intimidate you motherfucker
That has never been scared to lose
Slam brakes catch a case
A little bitch that's on patrol
The devil's dance does not advance
The one in control
Another case and acquittal
Another wife turned a widow
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Another heart breaks a little
A child left in the middle
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Another officer down
Fuck your life get up
Pull that fucking trigger, let's go
Another case and acquittal
Another wife turned a widow
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Another heart breaks a little
A child left in the middle
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Woah (Hands up, don't shoot)
Another officer down
Another officer

This was actually the song that introduced me to bad wolves
Same
i came across bad wolves when i heard zombie
This is such an unbelievably hooky song, really catches the ear with that chorus and of course the message is a breath of fresh air.
This song is so appropriate for the times.
yeah mostly for that stupid officer who killed george floyd
Vext wrote, “I have been reading many confused comments regarding our song ‘Officer Down’ this past week and this is where I stand - These lyrics are written to serve as a productive conversation starter addressing the issues of documented police brutality and more specifically the media’s slanderous and false projection of all law enforcement.”
Vext continued, “We in Bad Wolves are NOT an anti cop band. As a boy who grew up in NYC during 911 and first hand witnessed the courageous efforts of state and federal law enforcements as well as EMS and Firefighters (who) put their lives on the line to save victims of terror attacks, my reverence for the men and women who serve these offices can be no higher. They are as important to this country as the military branches that defend our nation and its freedom.”
The singer added, “As a personal friend of the Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney, members of NYPD, LAPD and a volunteer who has brought anti drug and alcohol policy events to schools along side the LAPD Narcotics Division I find it laughable the ignorant hateful dribble being spewed in some of these comments. So to all the snowflake keyboard warriors out there, YOUR MISS-INTERPRETATIONS ARE NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY.”
soulessphilosopher His song starts with the most hateful racial slur humans have ever invented and he focuses on the officers who are killed, even though this number is dwarfed by the number of innocent black men who are murdered by police. This isn’t a war where we’re counting the victims on both sides. It’s not equal. It’s incomparable. Yes, it is noble of police to put themselves in harms way for us, but at the very least they had a choice in their profession. Every single black man is forced into harms way because of the colour of their skin, because police choose to overreact to their unwarranted fear of black men, perpetuated by American films, the media, and racial slurs like the one he used which reduces a human being to a stereotype. If he was truly trying to be neutral he’s done a pretty shit job of it.
@@Jay-jn6ul what word is that?
@@Jay-jn6ul what word?
Vext is a bootlicker plain and simple.
I just saw this song performed live this past Saturday. With the sub par quality of the sound system at the venue, the only intelligible lyrics of this song were "hands up dont shoot" which has become associated mostly with BLM. Situations like that may incite some of the confusion on the songs meaning.
One of my deputies was killed in the line of duty a little more than 2 months ago. Thank you and bless you, Bad Wolves
@Darky I disgusting cop hater
Darky I don’t call the cops when you run into an issue :/
@Darky I You completely missed the point of this song didn't you scum bag
Dawns Legend the band isn’t anti police and neither is this song bro

That riff is menacing. More of that please.
Metal has such a huge place in my heart and to have such an AMAZING band address an issue that impacts me directly means the absolute world to me! I honestly can’t thank these guys enough- I know black people aren’t really the usual demographic this genre targets, but to have this band come out of the woodwork talking about this is just..yeah. I’m blown away lol.
Doc coyle is one of my favourite guitarists!!! He is criminally under rated, glad to see him doing well...I miss god forbid!!!
He didn’t play on the first two bad wolves albums, it was other studio musicians
GODDAMN, Powerful and heavy, I love it!
GODDAMN, powerful and heavy, I love it bad wolves friends from Feenix.
Man, I love how snowflake-y some people are in the comments on this are.
It's not just about bad cops shooting innocents and corruption on their side. They clearly state in the description it's about both sides, the garbage cops that misuse their power, and the idiot civilians/criminals that are ambushing the cops just doing their job properly.
You can still be pro-police and acknowledge there's some fucked up individual law enforcers out there. You can back the police and military personnel but still disagree with the actions of some of them, and what the higher ups do. You can also disagree with a song's message entirely but still enjoy the music itself. Music is a powerful way to get thoughts flowing and bring up issues for conversing and debate. That's what made bands like Rage Against The Machine so popular, along with the quality songwriting by the bands, of course. Get's people talking, and gets both sides of the story coming up, and rarely do you see songs strong with political ideas actually addressing both sides equally, like this one does.
Fuck the shitty cops that don't have the public's best interests in mind and abuse the respect and power the badge and oath gives them, and fuck the people who cut innocent officers' lives short due to actions of the minority in the police force and brain washing of the media. Also, fuck biased news sources that takes clear sides, and skews stories to try and control the thoughts and opinions of the viewers.
Let's gooooooo!! *Tasty riff starts playing*
Honestly my favorite song from the album. I love this band. Saw them live at Moline IL last night. Probably the best performance I have seen.
This in my opinion is the best song off the album.
I want to thank this band for starting metal back up before it leaves the earth. I hope it doesn't ever die
The best Bad Wolves album by far, this was something special man. 💔💔💔
Saw them live and heard this song, had no idea what it was so I looked through all of their songs. I have to say if you ever get a chance to see them live then take it.
I wish i got to see them live back when this was their only album out. Their new singer blows and when I saw them they only played one song off this album being No Masters and it was awesome to hear it live but the rest of the shit was kinda boring with a couple good riffs here and there but their new singer was atrocious, if I could've seen them when they still had Tommy that would've been a hell of a show
Easily, my favorite song ever.
Powerful lyrics strong instrumentals
As a future Officer, this holds a dear place in my heart. Black lives matter. So do blue lives. Every soul is precious
Zachary Sheets be safe man.
Be safe in the field man
Zachary Sheets just remember it's "racist" to say ALL lives matter.
Life matters. It's not that difficult to say. It's also an extraordinarily obvious statement that shouldn't need to be said. It is unfortunate when someone innocent is killed, but it is often the result of that person failing to obey an officer's orders, acting in a manner that is unbelievably idiotic and leading officers to believe he is armed, or in the commission of a crime. We don't need to look at officers, often times, when this occurs. We need to look to the media, black lives matter in particular, and the community - both fueling a false narrative that officers are "gon' get you" and out to kill - especially if you're black. The reactions fueled by this are reactions of hostility (which results in people acting indignant, refusing to obey orders, and feeling entitled to be above the law), and fear (which results in people acting like absolute morons and failing to obey orders).The blood is more often than not on their hands for fueling hostility toward law enforcement, and said false narrative.
T J I 100% agree! I personally feel like ALL lives matter. Nobody is more important than another. A life is a life and that person is a child of some bodies, possibly a daddy or mother, a wife or husband, etc etc. When I told Zach that it was racist to say "ALL lives matter," it's because that's how a lot of African American folks feel since "Black Lives Matter" came out. I feel like ALL lives matter and will always treat people with respect and kindness regardless of their skin color or job occupation. This song speaks volumes.
These guys live are legit 💯
Song goes hard. Cannot believe they didn’t get canceled for that opening line though
I thought the same thing when I first heard this haha. But I think they let it slide because Tommy is African American
Tommy is light skin lmao
@@jonathancoronado9841honestly that makes more sense lol
Saw them this summer with death punch, very pleasantly surprised a very short but aggressive set. I'd like to see them win the headline spot after this tour
Damn he has lows in his screaming vox cool as hell
The verses remind me of "Dig" by Mudvayne.
Agreed
Honestly you didn't have to put dig around quotations like we don't know what that song is 😂 don't get mad I'm just messing with you man

That guitar rift has a I built the sky feel to it :) I like it quite a bit
June 1 2020 . This song goes perfect with what’s going on now
I do love this song it’s really could and boy oh boy Tommy Vext got good vocals and good screaming
Saw these guys live last night in Salem, VA! They really know how to get a crowd going!!!
This is a good song. This song sadly makes me think of my home town of Baltimore. My grandfather was a cop and I have nothing against Law enforcement. They Changed my outlook on life.
very promising stuff! the band sounds great!! keep it up guys and you will be huge one day, i know it ;)
Vejita 17 the cover of zombies they did 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
They put on a great show
They could be one of the best new bands out there just get these young kids to quit buying the rap shit record labels don’t give bands with talent a chance like they did in the 80s what a shame
They dipped and started making shit music
It's sad, Disobey is such a good album
I love this god damn band dude especially the drums its amazing
Bad ass song!
Such a great song with a great message and goal
Yes!
BADASS all the way, period!
This song brilliantly tells the story of both sides.
LOSING A LOVED ONE ISNT GOOD. BUT HOLDING A GUN ON SOMEONE AND HOPING YOU’RE THEIR NEW AUTHORITY IN LIFE ISNT GOOD EITHER
I swear this is perfect to run to. Walk while the intro hypes you up and when he says pull the trigger, start running. Never fails to keep me going 🤘
Saw them live 5-20-18, in Grand Forks North Dakota, amazing show, highly recommend anyone see them live.
Heaviest Bad Wolves Song 🤘 🔥🔥🤘
Tommy your voice is unreal, great job guys
They killed this song! Minneapolis Minnesota in the summer :) new favorite song by them for sure
I'm glad that you guys re-uploaded the video with the purpose behind it. There are two sides to this story, and I think it's important that everyone recognizes that. You guys mind sharing the official lyrics as well?
Nicholas Herman what is the purpose?
shipwash226 It's in the description.
Wooo, one year celebration.
Love the perfect mix between the vocals and the guitar is a fucking killer !
Powerful, amazing lyrics. Love it guys. Saw them in Colorado Springs, the BEST concert. Keep it up Tommy!
Erin Mohr Just Tommy?
They used the momentum of the track and timing to reflect an idea and opinion. Its beautiful and well thought out.
thank you this song is awesome
Heard this song last night live and I love it now.
Best song on the album
This was awesome and cool, keep up the awesome work.
Is it me or does this song sound like it belongs in a cod zombies?
This song assisted in my discovery of you! 💜💚🇺🇸
such a good song
It's funky!
Well I'm very happy I chose to read the description while listening to the song, and I believe it came out well. Deffinately one to add to my playlist. :)
My father was a deputy sheriff with the Harford County Sheriffs Office and was killed in the line of duty on 02/10/2016.
Bryan Dailey I feel you man. My Dad was a cop in Philly, was killed in the line of duty in 2008.
Sorry for your loss man. Your Dad must've been a hell of a guy.
RIP BLUE BROTHER. Sorry for your loss. Been in Law Enforcement for 11 years now. I hate hearing about my brothers and sisters dying while protecting their communities. It happens all too much and we are not appreciated most times. A few "bad apples" give us good officers a bad name.
Leather Pants Guy I hope you rot in hell you son of a bitch
If you don't like how you are being treated by those who enforce laws, either stop breaking them or leave, preferably the latter.
I salute the officers down thank you for your service
Bro u even listen to the song ? It's anti police . It's about police brutality

Favorite song by the bad wolves
Saw this live in Evansville, Ind. 15/10 recommend.
Lyrics:
I’m sayin’ hands up, don’t shoot
And no finger on the trigger, ain't afraid to shoot
You wanted me to tell you, you ain't seen a motherfucker undercover I don’t fuck with you
Fists up, drop the gun
That’s the price you’ve gotta pay
Good or bad, supposed to dig in the past
When shit gets hard, don't say
Another case and acquittal, another wife turned a widow
Whoa, whoa (Hands up, don’t shoot, hands up, don’t shoot)
Another heart breaks a little, a child left in the middle
Whoa, whoa (Hands up, don’t shoot, hands up)
Another officer down
I see them lights flash, hit the gas
Nobody wants to hear this round
Do you want me to tell you, you ain't seen a motherfucker that has ever been scared to live
Just slam brakes, count the cash
Now is this pop patrol
The double stance does not advance the one in control
Another case and acquittal, another wife turned a widow
Whoa, whoa (Hands up, don’t shoot, hands up, don’t shoot)
Another heart breaks a little, a child left in the middle
Whoa, whoa (Hands up, don’t shoot, hands up)
Another officer down
Fuck your life up
Pull that fucking trigger, let’s go
Another case and acquittal, another wife turned a widow
Whoa, whoa (Hands up, don’t shoot, hands up, don’t shoot)
Another heart breaks a little, a child left in the middle
Whoa, whoa (Hands up, don’t shoot, hands up)

If you read the lyrics and the description it's both sides perspective. Good song!
😍😍😍🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
I like to train with this music , i like so much
Five Finger Death Punch = military
Bad Wolves = police
Edit: my bad, I did not realize this song was anti- police.. and everyone's talking trash on FFDP when they support the military and make good music. I respect the law, so I did not want to make this seem like I didn't.
Edit 2: People say it's talking about police in general, not necessarily anti- police, not necessarily pro- police. Thanks for clarification
Ballmuncher 7000 #wtf is going on?
Ballmuncher 7000 yeah I agree. Boots and Blood by Five Finger Death Punch is also pro police.
Bad Wolves > Five Flavor Fruit Punch
@@justinnehls4212 you have no clue what you're talking about Tommy Vext is bad ass but he'll NEVER be as bad ass as Ivan Moody Moody has done things that I don't think any other artist will accomplish plus they're pro military Zoltan Bathary has started & runs a veteran help organization they've been to Iraq to entertain the troops they're untouchable
This isn't pro police though, its seeing the reality of the situation

the best song on the album!!!
The system we have in place is failing us and could not be brought to light in any better way, God Forbid 🤘🤘👏👏👏
This song basically explains what's happening now.
I totally agree
So fucking good. Can’t wait to see you guys in Casper.
Stfu about all the hate to 5FDP I love them they are the people who got me into metal
Tommy Vext the lead singer of Bad Wolves is Ivan Moodys under study so the Bad Wolves singer is the Five Finger Death Punch second string lead singer
Officer Down.... saw the title and thought: "Half Baked?" :D
"THIS HORSE, IS A DIABETIC!!"
I reckon if you guys made an "Officer Down" music video it'd be pretty rad
That guitar riff tho
As an army MP, my job is to keep a garrison environment safe just as any civilian officer would keep his community safe, except I'm protecting my fellow brothers and sisters in arms, as well as their own families. When I work the gates in the morning, I greet everyone with a smile on my face and tell them to have a blessed day. Now dont get me wrong, honestly, I like the song not because of the meaning, but just because it's a good sounding song. With that being said, it's hard to get around the two sided description, with the lyrics kinda making it redundant in a way. I love bad wolves and I love their music, but I wont overlook the fact that this song has a issue with picking its sides. It says it represents both sides of the conflict, however, the lyrics say otherwise. There are bad cops in this world, but that should never mean other cops are just as bad as them, including me. I do my job and I want to make sure people are safe. Just as you wouldn't call all civilians criminals because someone robbed a store or killed someone. Before you paint over us with a broad brush, broaden your horizon first
@J P Did you not read the MP part? That literally means MILITARY POLICE. Meaning it's his fucking job to not only preserve our FREEDOM, but also our SAFETY.
i love you guys zombie is my favorite
thxs to the songwriter, Dolores O'riordan, they are nothing without her

Check out the band Terror Universal...
sort of a chimaera vibe in the breakdowns

Aploskl Pantera and Faith No More as well. Which isn't surprising, because Pantera and Faith No More influenced all the bands you mentioned
