Police Story
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.
This fucking city
Is run by pigs
They take away the rights
From all the kids
Walk down the street
I flip them off
They hit me across the head
With a billy club
Nothing i do, nothing i say
I tell them to go get fucked
They put me away
Understand
We're fighting a war
We can't win
They hate us-we hate them
We can't win
I go to court,
For my crime,
Stand in line pay bail,
I may serve time
Understand
We're fighting a war
We can't win
They hate us-we hate them
We can't win
Understand
We're fighting a war
We can't win
They hate us-we hate them
We can't win
