Police sirens break the air
They're on their way
Riots break out on the streets

Someone's got to pay
Why has it got to this
Why can't they realise

Someone's going to die
They're after you
Boys in blue

Boys in blue
Running after you
Police vans screech to halt

Out jump the law
Chasing youths down the street
Beat them with a stick

You resist they hit you more
What can you do
Dragged away into their van

So they can bully you
They're after you
Boys in blue

Boys in blue
Running after you
No one's left on the streets

Its quietened down
The problems still exist
Solutions must be found

Tension in the cities
It's running high
It's going to explode soon

You're all about to die
They're after you
Boys in blue

Boys in blue
Running after you
The government's not interested

They don't care at all
They think that jailing you
It's the problem solved

My time in prison i resent them more
Why cant they face the facts
That their policies are wrong
