Lyrics

The Arrest

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If you take part in direct action or the police don't like the look of you; you are likely to get arrested

Here's some things to and not to do

You don't have to say anything, nothing, but it is advisable (but still your choice)

to give your name, address and date of birth, and then say nothing else

If you don't give them this you'll find they will only hold you for longer

While they establish your identity, but if you have been previously convicted

Then don't give your date of birth, for you are on their computers in birth order

Then you are not obliged to answer any further questions at all

Most people that are caught are sussed out by their own evidence

The police are cunning but thick, don't hand it to them on a plate

You don't have to give your fingerprints, make them apply for a warrant

This sometimes is refused - especially if the evidence is flimsy

Never let them take your photograph this is only compulsory after

You have received a prison sentence, so don't let them tell you different

You can demand suitable food; you might not get it "keep on asking"

You are entitled to make phone calls but the bastards won't let you

Remember the arresting officer's number, or any scum that treat you badly

Make a legal complaint afterwards. Look bored - but stay polite

When they question say "no comment", don't admit to any weakness

They are bastards trained by bastards

To protect, detect, and prevent, us and our like from questioning

Let alone, threaten the power that they cherish

Whatever you go through in a police cell is nothing compared to the suffering inflicted by Governments

The state destroys, tortures and murders, we must stop them, using force if necessary

Remember that and good luck
