The Police
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.
Watch out the police
They waiting for you
You do a bad thing
They gonna get you
Put you away where you can't get out
What they did to me, what it's all about
I asked the police, take me away
Didn't do no good here, I don't want to stay
Watch out the police
They waiting for you
You do a bad thing
They gonna get you
Put you away
Where you can't get out
What they did to me
What it's all about
I asked the police, take me away
Can't do no good here
Don't want to stay
