Where Are the Police - Dirty Revolution

They say it’s not safe out in the street

The enemy is only thirteen

Got a knife in his pocket,

Gun at his waist

Willing to do whatever it takes

They say we’re not even safe when we’re at home

Surrounded by all this shit we own

We can’t take it with us when we go

The more we have,

The more we have to lose, Y' know…

Oh no, where are the police?

When you need them,

No you won’t hear no police

Oh no, where are the police?

Oh no, I can’t hear no police

They say it’s not safe to go on holiday

A terrorist might blow the plane away

So you turn on the TV,

Watch the news report

Now they the terrorists are living next door

So it’s not safe to go anywhere

You can’t stay here and you shouldn’t go there

Want us to live in fear, lifes not fair

Not everyone can get their share

Oh no, where are the police?

When you need them,

No you won’t hear no police

Oh no, where are the police?

Oh no, I can’t hear no police

Now it’s not safe to say what you think

So you turn to drugs and you turn to drink

As soon as you deviate from this norm

Then they’ll come, then they’ll swarm

Oh no, here are the police

Got nothing better to do

Than take a piece of me?
