Anti-flag - Police Story lyrics

A black man driving down the street one day Pulled over by racist boys in blue in Brentwood, P A There's no real reason, they don't have any right It's just that in their eyes he's not the correct shade of white Driving in a neighborhood that's reigned by whites Ain't healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy life All those cops they walked off free, but him he's in a grave His name is Johnny Gammage, one of thousands they have slain We've got no rights When cops can k** It's not right We live in fear We've got no rights When cops can k** It's not right We live in fear Patrol man cruising in his car at night Just looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fight Pulled over 3 kids in a total rage Next thing you know there's bodies all over the place His back up came and they're all acting tough 3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubs The cops they did it just 'cause those kids color and their age They say, "That's not the truth", but this happens every f**ing day We've got no right When cops can k** It's not right We live in fear We've got no right When cops can k** It's not right We live in fear Fear of what you're gonna do, when a cop's talking sh** to you Fear of what you're gonna say, when the cops come gunning your way Fear of what you shouldn't do, when the cops try to provoke you Fear that on any given day, the cops should take your life away, away They say we're here To keep the peace They say we're here To keep the peace They say we're here To keep the peace They say we're here To keep the peace They say we're here To keep the peace They say we're here To keep the peace They say we're here to keep the peace What a buncha f**in' sh** We've got no rights When cops can k** It's not right We live in fear We've got no rights When cops can k** It's not right We live in fear We've got no rights We've got no rights It's not right No, it's not right We've got no rights We've got no rights It's not right Take back your rights
