police
whenever shadows are fading
whenever night ends the day
there comes the time of a business
that’s either blessing or decay
whenever law has a timeout
when single rights must be paid
there are no more neighbours in
the neighbourhood
only the cops aren’t afraid
get your guns down!
step back! — police — step back! —
police — step back! – police
cops are in town!
and with the pimps and the bosses
the cops are hatching a plot
no one would ever expect this
whenever birds start their daylife
whenever silence takes a rest
newspaper spreading their headlines
another criminal investigation and no arrest
whenever old ladies ask a
man in an uniform for help
it takes a moment for him to
realize he can’t hold out his hand
they take — take their part
they just take their part
they take — take their part
they are just a part
and no one’s here to protect us
the devils coming to town
justice is not for the poor folks
i should start running away
i — if i only could fly away —
if i only could fly away —
if i only could fly away
they take — take their part
they just take their part
they take — take their part
they just play their part
step back! — police — step back! —
police — step back! — police
lay the law down!
step back! — police — step back! —
police — step back! – police
get outta way now!
(bad boys — bad boys — what u gonna do?)
step back! — police — step back! —
police — step back! — police
i, if i only could change their ways
if they only would feel ashamed
could this world be a better place?
if i only could change these days
but i only can run away
if i only could fly away
