The Tiger Lillies - Police lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Police lyrics]
When we were young we
Killed the foreign fellows
They spoke in strange tongues and
Were brown or yellow
We'd make mincemeat of 'em and when
Each one was a corpse
Then for their killings we'd be heroes
Of course
Well now you're Chief of Police and
I am King of Thieves and each one in our
Own career something achieved
Though both from the gutter were conceived
Well now, with respect we are received
We are the police (We are the police)
We are the thieves (We are the thieves)
And each the other does need
We are the police (We are the police)
We are the thieves (We are the thieves)
And each the other does need
When we were young we went
And joined the army
Those were the days, they were all so balmy
Those young girls we would rape
To shut them up their mouths we'd sellotape
To keep 'em quiet while them we did rape
Ha ha ha ha!
So now our lives could become a success
Power and influence and money in excess
You're the Chief of Police and
I'm the King of Thieves
And each in our own career something achieved
We are the police (We are the police)
We are the thieves (We are the thieves)
And each the other does need
Killed the foreign fellows
They spoke in strange tongues and
Were brown or yellow
We'd make mincemeat of 'em and when
Each one was a corpse
Then for their killings we'd be heroes
Of course
Well now you're Chief of Police and
I am King of Thieves and each one in our
Own career something achieved
Though both from the gutter were conceived
Well now, with respect we are received
We are the police (We are the police)
We are the thieves (We are the thieves)
And each the other does need
We are the police (We are the police)
We are the thieves (We are the thieves)
And each the other does need
When we were young we went
And joined the army
Those were the days, they were all so balmy
Those young girls we would rape
To shut them up their mouths we'd sellotape
To keep 'em quiet while them we did rape
Ha ha ha ha!
So now our lives could become a success
Power and influence and money in excess
You're the Chief of Police and
I'm the King of Thieves
And each in our own career something achieved
We are the police (We are the police)
We are the thieves (We are the thieves)
And each the other does need
