Lyrics and translation
Original
Police and thieves in the streets
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
From Genesis to Revelations
What the next generation will be, hear me
All the crimes committed, day by day
No-one tries to stop it in any way
All the peace makers, turned war officers
Hear me say, "Ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, hey, ugh"
Police and thieves in the streets
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
Da-da-day, da-da-day, dumb
Da-da-day-day, dumb, dumb
Da-da-day-da, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
All the crimes committed, day by day
No one tries to stop it in any way
All the peace makers turned war officers
Hear me say, "Ha, ha-ha, ha-ha"
Police and thieves in the streets
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves on the streets
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves
Police and thieves
Police and thieves
Police and thieves
Police and thieves
