"Police & Thieves" lyrics

IDLES Lyrics

"Police & Thieves"
(from "Caught Stealing" soundtrack)

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 it in any way
All the peace makers turned war officers
Hear what 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

All the crimes committed, day by day
No one tries to stop it in any way
All the peace makers turned war officers
Hear what 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

Police and thieves
Police and thieves
Police and thieves
Police and thieves
Police and thieves
