Anti Flag Police Story Lyrics

Police Story Lyrics

(Lyrics: Justin Sane/music: Justin Sane/Chris Head)

A black man driving down the street one day 
Pulled over by racist boys in blue in Brentwood, PA
There's no real reason, they don't have any right 
It's just that in their eyes he's not the correct shade of white... 
Driving in a neighborhood that's reigned by whites 
Ain't healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy life 
All those cops they walked off free, but him he's in a grave 
His name is Johnny Gammage, on of thousands they have slain 

We've got no rights....
... when cops can kill 
It's not right....
... we live in fear 
Patrol man cruising in his car at night 
Just looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fight 
Pulled over 3 kids in a total rage 
Next thing you know there's bodies all over the place 
His back up came & they're all acting tough 
3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubs
The cops they did it just cause those kids color and their age 
They say "that's not the truth", but this happens every f**king
day!!! 

We've got no right. ....
... when cops can kill 
It's not right...
... we live in fear 

Fear of what you're gonna do, when a cop's talking sh*t to you 
Fear of what you're gonna say, when the cops come gunning your way 
Fear of what you shouldn't do, when the cops try to provoke you 
Fear 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 F**KIN' SHIT!!!!!! 

We've got no rights....
... when cops can kill 
It's not right... ....
... we live in fear 
TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTS!!!
