Anti-Flag - Police Story Lyrics
A black man driving down the street one dayPulled over by racist boys in blue in Brentwood, PAThere's no real reason, they don't have any rightIt's just that in their eyes he's not the correct shade of white...Driving in a neighborhood that's reigned by whitesAin't healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy lifeAll those cops they walked off free, but him he's in a graveHis name is Johnny Gammage, one of thousands they have slainWe've got no rights.......when cops can killIt's not right.......we live in fearPatrol man cruising in his car at nightJust looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fightPulled over 3 kids in a total rageNext thing you know there's bodies all over the placeHis back up came & they're all acting tough3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubsThe cops they did it just cause those kids color and their ageThey say that's not the truth, but this happens every *****ing day!!!We've got no rights.......when cops can killIt's not right.......we live in fearFear of what you're gonna do, when a cop's talking shit to youFear of what you're gonna say, when the cops come gunning your wayFear of what you shouldn't do, when the cops try to provoke youFear that on any given day, the cops should take your life away...They say they're here to keep the peace...WHAT A BUNCH OF *****IN' SHIT!!!We've got no rights.......when cops can killIt's not right.......we live in fearTAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTS
