I just cant take much more of this oppression 

I'm going out of my head and its losing that impression

I'm gonna go out for a walk 

I'm gonna sit down and have talk 

There asking me how

And they're asking me why

Have you ever seen grown men cry



Police, police, police oppression

Police, police, police oppression



I really find it hard even walking around the streets 

Hey I know you son I'll knock you off your feet 

Same number 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 cant take much more of this oppression 

I'm going out of my head and its getting that impression

I'm gonna go out for a walk 

I'm gonna sit down and have talk 

There 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 

Count the bricks learning some tricks 

Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies 

Is being different really a crime

When you ask for some respect

Give some back it just might work



Police, police, police oppression
