  • Mmmm yes

    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)
    Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)
    Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition

    From Genesis to Revelation yeah
    And next generation will be hear me

    All the crimes committed day by day
    No one try to stop it in any way
    All the peacemakers turn war officers
    Hear what I say

    Hehehehehehehey

    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)
    Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)
    Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition

    Oh yeah

    All the crimes committed day by day
    No one try to stop it in any way
    All the peacemakers turn war officers
    Hear what I say

    Hehehehehehehey

    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)
    Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
    Police and thieves in the street (oh yeah)
    Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
