Paroles
[Intro]
They're going through a tight wind
[Chorus]
Police and thieves in the street (Oh yeah)
Scarin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the street (Oh yeah)
Fightin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
From Genesis to Revelation
The next generation will be, hear me
From Genesis to Revelation
The next generation will be, hear me
[PreChorus]
And all the crowd come in, a-day by day
No one stops it in any way
All the peacemaker, third world officer
Hear what I say
[Chorus]
Police and thieves in the street (Oh yeah)
Scarin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the street (Oh yeah)
Fightin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
From Genesis to Revelation
The next generation will be, hear me
[Chorus]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[PreChorus]
And all the crowd come in, day by day
No one stop it in any way
All the peacemaker, third world officer
Hear what I say
[Chorus]
Police, police, police and thieves (Oh yeah)

And I'm scarin', I'm fightin' the nation (Oh yeah)
Shootin', shootin' their guns and, guns and ammunition (Oh yeah)

Here come, here come, here come
The station is bombed (Oh yeah)
Get out, get out, get out, you people
If you don't wanna get blown up (Oh yeah)
The police, the police, the, and the, and the thieves, and the (Oh yeah)
You gotta lick the ground
But you are trapped in the middle, punk
