“Public Defender” is the ninth track on State Of Alert’s No Policy 7" EP. Henry Rollins' lyrics for this song ended up paralleling those of Greg Ginn’s lyrics for the Black Flag song Police Story that Rollins would end up recording a few months later for the Damaged album.
Public Defender Lyrics
When you see a cop coming, you better move quick
He's gonna hit you with a stick
It doesn't matter what you've done
You're gonna suffer for his fun
Man in blue, coming for you
Siren's red, you're gonna be dead
Man in blue, coming for you
Siren's red, you're gonna be dead
He stops your car, looks inside
Asks you where you've been tonight
He doesn't like you, everybody knows
He doesn't like your hair, doesn't like your clothes
Man in blue, coming for you
Siren's red, you're gonna be dead
Man in blue, coming for you
Siren's red, you're gonna be dead
Keep the peace, what a load of shit
He doesn't care one fucking bit
Justice for all, but not for you
There's not a fucking thing you can do
Man in blue, coming for you
Siren's red, you're gonna be dead
Man in blue, coming for you
Siren's red, you're gonna be dead
