lyrics

Police and thieves in the streets
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
From Genesis to Revelations,
What the next generation will be, hear me

All the crimes committed, day by day
No-one tries to stop them in any way
All the peace makers turned war officers
Hear when I say

Police and thieves in the streets
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
From Genesis to Revelations,
What the next generation will be, hear me
Oh the kids are alright I say
And the police are thieves I say
Oh the police are thieves you say?
So defund the police, yeah!

All the crimes committed, day by day
No-one tries to stop them in any way
Not all the peace makers turned war officers
Hear when I say

Police, police, police, police and thieves, thieves
Police, police, police, police and thieves, thieves
Oh the police, police, police, police are thieves, they're thieves
Yeah the police, police, police, police are thieves, thieves
So defund, defund, defund, defund the police, the police
defund, defund, defund, defund the police, the police
defund, defund, defund, defund the police, the police
defund, defund, defund, defund the police, the police
Yeah!
