In any society Police are very necessary,
But is it necessary to leave us in cemetery's,

Look at the victims dead and buried because there's very many,
What is the sentences there getting? Is there ever any?
What will take to get the public up in arms?

They flick out the truncheon and that's when the trouble starts,
3rd of Jan 09, Riot Masks come and charge,
Ambush kids and women in the Hyde Park underpass,

We come out to protest? Do you just come out to brawl?
And how could you justify the figures when you count them all?
Cowards and fools protect a system which is bound to fall,

Bountiful evidence, still no one held accountable,
Golden Eye know your rights cause it's real,
This is real life, they won't treat you like in The Bill,

This one's for every innocent that died in field,
Tell me who really gave them the License To Kill,



First Menezes got killed, then Dick got promoted,
Then Hip Hop's lip's locked and did what they told it,

No one even said a bar,
A whole chain of command responsible and not one person was ever charged,
It's like we stood back, All closed our eyes,

I guess if you've got a badge the laws don't apply,
They tell us be patient, For justice we keep waiting,
Chris Alder died on the floor of a Police Station,

And not one person convicted in eleven years,
But it was very clear, the footage is everywhere,
We're not intimidated,

This is for families that lost loved ones and never saw the killers faces,
Golden Eye know your rights cause it's real,
This is real life, they won't treat you like in The Bill,

This one's for every innocent that died in field,
Tell me who really gave them the License To Kill,



I can't understand coppers,
Who attack a man with his back to them, and his hands in his pockets,

You can't disregard the facts,
They rushed the post mortem, at first tried to claim it was a heart attack,
Not a protestor, just a working person leaving,

Second post mortem? cause of death, internal bleeding,
It was manslaughter captured camcorder,
Imagine that was your grandson or granddaughter,

NEVER think we've forgotten them,
ALL the brown and black victims treated just like Ian Tomlinson,
It's something that bothers me,

So stuff your apology,
Two things we want here, justice and equality,
Golden Eye know your rights cause it's real,

This is real life, they won't treat you like in The Bill,
This one's for every innocent that died in field,
Tell me who really gave them the License To Kill.
