Police Police always go in twos around dark corners through the night Police have to know Who's doing something criminal in the night Police have to know What there is to do Because they have radio transmissions Police shoot If they know That they must And because of machine resistance Police have a lot of duties A wife and two kids They're afraid of terrorists Because they don't move fast enough When they come from the night shift, their eyes have dark circles They smoke "Mild Brand" Because life is hard enough Day and night they'll be with you Day and night they'll be with you - the police Police write up What they know Electronically Everything might be important someday and somehow Police know What there is to do Because they have radio transmissions Police are increasing each day and each month When you go home at night eating ice-cream after dancing lessons When you stand at the bus stop with the new "Bravo" When you turn your head to look behind in line at McDonalds You can see them You can see them Day and night they'll be with you Day and night they'll be with you
