Where are the police?

They say it's not safe out in the street
The enemy is only thirteen
Got a knife in his pocket,
Gun at his waist
Willing to do whatever it takes
They say we're not even safe when we're at home
Surrounded by all this shit we own
We can't take it with us when we go
The more we have,
The more we have to lose, Y' know...

Oh no, where are the police?
When you need them,
No you won't hear no police
Oh no, where are the police?
Oh no, I can't hear no police

They say it's not safe to go on holiday
A terrorist might blow the plane away
So you turn on the TV,
Watch the news report
Now they the terrorists are living next door
So it's not safe to go anywhere
You can't stay here and you shouldn't go there
Want us to live in fear, lifes not fair
Not everyone can get their share

Oh no, where are the police?
When you need them,
No you won't hear no police
Oh no, where are the police?
Oh no, I can't hear no police

Now it's not safe to say what you think
So you turn to drugs and you turn to drink
As soon as you deviate from this norm
Then they'll come, then they'll swarm

Oh no, here are the police
Got nothing better to do
Than take a piece of me?
