Lyrics
First Defence
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 is a tale of police brutality
They're picking on the Asian
They're picking on the Blackman
They're picking on the Irish
They're picking on the white trash
They're picking on the gay man
They're picking on the lesbian
They're picking on the union
They're picking on the hunt sab
They're picking on the raver
And the demonstrator
They're picking on the squatter
They're picking on the traveller
They're picking on the jobless
They're picking on the homeless
They're picking on the alien
They're picking on the innocent
Police are the first defence of the state
Walking home at night
With my friends you see
Not meaning any harm
Just them and me
Then comes Babylon
They wanna harass
We tell like Frankie
'Relax'
