| Whenever shadows are fading
|
| Whenever night ends the day
|
| There comes the time of a business
|
| That’s either blessing or decay
|
| Whenever law has a timeout
|
| When single rights must be paid
|
| There are no more neighbours in
|
| The neighbourhood, only the cops aren’t afraid
|
| And with the pimps and the bosses
|
| The cops are hatching a plot
|
| No one would ever expect this
|
| They take, take their part
|
| They just take their part
|
| They take, take their part
|
| They are just a part
|
| I, if I only could fly away
|
| If I only could fly away
|
| If I only could fly away
|
| Step back, police, step back
|
| Police, step back, police
|
| Lay the law down
|
| Step back, police, step back
|
| Police, step back, police
|
| Get outta way now
|
| (Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do?)
|
| Step back, police, step back
|
| Police, step back, police
|
| Get your guns down
|
| Step back, police, step back
|
| Police, step back, police
|
| Cops are in town
|
| Whenever birds start their daylife
|
| Whenever silence takes a rest
|
| Newspaper spreading their headlines
|
| Another criminal investigation and no arrest
|
| Whenever old ladies ask
|
| A man in an uniform for help
|
| It takes a moment for him
|
| To realize he can’t hold out his hand
|
| And no one’s here to protect us
|
| The devil’s coming to town
|
| Justice is not for the poor folks
|
| I should start running away
|
| They take, take their part
|
| They just take their part
|
| They take, take their part
|
| They just play their part
|
| I, if I only could change their ways
|
| If they only would feel ashamed
|
| Could this world be a better place?
|
| If I only could change these days
|
| But I only can run away
|
| If I only could fly away |
