Lyrics

I just can't take much more of this oppression
I'm going out my head and it's causin' a depression
I cannot go out for a walk
I cannot sit down and have a talk
They're asking me how
And they're asking me why
Have you ever seen grown men cry?
Police, police, police oppression
Police, police, police oppression – blech!
Really find it hard even walking 'round the streets
"Hey, I know you, son! I'll knock you off your feet!"
Same number we've heard a million times before
"Shut your mouth, son, or I'll knock you on the floor!"
Police, police, police oppression
Police, police, police oppression
I just can't take much more of this oppression
I'm going out my head and it's causin' a depression
I cannot go out for a walk
I cannot sit down and have a talk
They're asking me how
And they're asking me why
Have you ever seen grown men cry?
Police, police, police oppression
Police, police, police oppression
Lying in the cells is really no fun
Countin' the bricks, learnin' some tricks
Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies
Is being different really a crime?!
Police, police, police oppression
Police, police, police oppression
Police, police, police, police, police, police, police
Bye... sod it!
Owww-ahhh.....!
