Men In Blue Part 1 by Youth Brigade Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1983

What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)

They really pissed me off last night
Oh it was a terrible sight
Beating up on little kids
What are we gonna do
About the men in blue

I can't believe the hate
With a vengeance they did beat
It seemed such a pointless scene
What are we gonna do
About the men in blue
They love to instill the fear
Whenever they are near
It just goes on and on
What are we gonna do
About the men in blue

It's such a scary way to live
They take away what they should give

You know they do whatever they can
Cause our rights are in their hands
And there's nothing we can do to stop it

What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)

They killed a five year old boy
His gun was just a toy
They say they're really sorry
What are we gonna do
About the men in blue
So many more have died
From their violent crimes
That is how they protect and serve us
What are we gonna do
About the men in blue

We feel so powerless
They make so little sense
They hate us
They're our defense
What are we gonna do
About the men in blue

It's such a scary way to live
They take away what they should give
You know they do whatever they can
Cause our rights are in their hands
And there's nothing we can do to stop it

What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
What are we gonna do about the men in blue
(What are we gonna do)
Well I was walking down the street just the other day
And the cops hit me up for something I didn't say
There was no reason, there was no rhyme
Just fucked with me to waste some time
It's a scary thing
They could've wasted me
The cops have the power and the gun don't see
Simple lies the books say in school
You're just not cool if you don't follow their rules

I would understand if I committed a crime
They could've locked me up
I would've done my time
Well I didn't do nothing, the man he said
So he jacked me up
And cracked my head

We could bitch all night, and we could end it
But it ain't gonna stop until we break our chains
The story ended, it had just begun
And we're back real soon for some more of this fun

What are we gonna do about the men in blue?
What are we gonna do
About the men in blue?
What are we gonna do
About the men
In blue
