Police sirens break the air They're on their way Riots break out on the streets Someone's got to pay Why has it got to this Why can't they realise Someone's going to die They're after you Boys in blue Boys in blue Running after you Police vans screech to halt Out jump the law Chasing youths down the street Beat them with a stick You resist they hit you more What can you do Dragged away into their van So they can bully you They're after you Boys in blue Boys in blue
Running after you No one's left on the streets It's quietened down The problems still exist Solutions must be found Tension in the cities It's running high It's going to explode soon You're all about to die They're after you Boys in blue Boys in blue Running after you The government's not interested They don't care at all They think that jailing you It's the problem solved My time in prison i resent them more Why cant they face the facts That their policies are wrong
