Police and Thieves by The Clash Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1976

[Intro]
They're going through a tight wind

[Chorus]
Police and thieves in the street (Oh yeah)
Scarin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the streets (Oh yeah)
Fightin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
From genesis to revelation
The next generation will be, hear me
From genesis to revelation
The next generation will be, hear me

[Pre-Chorus]
And all the crowd come in, a'day by day
No one stops it in anyway
All the peacemaker, third-world officer
Hear what I say

[Chorus]
Police and thieves in the street, oh yeah
Scarin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the street, oh yeah
Fightin' the nation with their guns and ammunition
From genesis to revelation
The next generation will be, hear me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And all the crowd come in, day by day
No one stop it in anyway
All the peacemaker, turn war officer
Hear what I say

[Chorus]
Police, police, police and thieves, oh yeah
Police, police, police and thieves, oh yeah
From genesis, oh yeah
Police, police, police, police and thieves, oh yeah

[Verse]
And I'm scarin', I'm fightin' the nation, oh yeah
Shootin', shootin' their guns and, guns and ammunition
Oh yeah
Police, police, police and thieves, oh yeah
I'm scarin', oh yeah
I'm scarin' the nation, police oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

[Bridge]
Here come, here come, here come
The station is bombed, oh yeah
Get out, get out, get out you people
If ya' don't want to get blown up, oh yeah
[Outro]
The police, the police and the thieves, oh yeah
Ya' gotta lick the ground
But you are trapped in the middle, punk
Police, police, police, police
Police, police, police, police
Police, police, police, police
Police, police, police, police
Police, police, police, police
