|
The police force is a noble breed who safely guard our streets Their valor is unquestioned and they're noted for the feats If anything you wish to know, they'll tell you with a grin In fact each one of them is a complete inquire-within If you want to know the time, ask a... Policeman, you're working for the government Policeman, that uniform is excellent Policeman, protect us from the junkies Policeman says "Je t'adore le muzak funky" Oh, policeman, I'd love to spend the evening snorting cocaine off the stomach of your girlfriend Then maybe later, we can listen to the Residents then you will say to me "Let's use the bathtub" Policeman, you're working for the government Policeman, that uniform is excellent Policeman, protect us from the junkies Policeman says "You postpunk kids are cheeky monkeys" Meanwhile, in bedrooms round the country Giro checks and TVs reeducate the youngsters I get a shiver when the Yankee bands get visas but there's no payment, no nothing for policeman That sheer mentality is nasty, but essential Without the police force, John says we'd all go mental DIY, EMI, that's still important Your anesthetic is a rap from the policeman |
