And then I ran out the door and I jumped in the grass
Sirens stopped, they said get your ass up
And pick it up and start runnin

Poli-poli-police-police—police-police
Police brutality all day long on your face
Yeah all over the place
Uh, you think that it’s gonna be wrong
We’re doin it all day long
So, I started running when I saw the billy club
Then I jumped the fence and that was all there was
I jumped the fence I started runnin and I got hit by a Ford
A four-door Ford a four-door Ford
It was one of those Escort pieces of crap

You lookin around and I’m lookin your way
Trashin your brain every single day
We’re gonna do it lemon soda style
So

Sittin on my ass in a pizza shack
