[Intro]
Oh yeah-ea-ea
Oh yeah-ea-ea
Oh yeah-ea-ea
[Chorus]
Police and thieves in the streets (Oh yeah-ea-ea)
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets (Oh yeah-ea-ea)
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
[Verse]
From Genesis to Revelations
What the next generation will be, hear me
[Verse]
All the crimes committed, day by day
No-one tries to stop it in any way
All the peace makers turned war officers
Hear when I say-hay-hay-hay-hay-hay
[Chorus]
Police and thieves in the streets (Oh yeah-ea-ea)
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets (Oh yeah-ea-ea)
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
[Verse]
All the crimes committed, day by day
No-one tries to stop it in any way
All the peace makers turned war officers
Hear when I say-hay-hay-hay-hay-hay
[Outro]
Police and thieves in the streets (Police and thieves)
(Oh yeah-ea-ea)
Fighting the nation (Fighting the nation)
With their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets (Police and thieves)
(Oh yeah-ea-ea)
Scaring the nation (Scaring the nation)
With their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves (Police and thieves)
Police
Police and thieves (Police and thieves)
Police (Police and thieves)
Police and thieves (Police and thieves)
Police
Police and thieves (Police and thieves)
