Dirty Projectors – Police Story lyrics
This fucking city
Is run by pigs
They take away the rights
From all the kids

Walk down the street
I flip them off
They hit me across the head
With a billy club

Nothing I do, nothing I say
I tell them to go get fucked
They put me away

Understand
We're fighting a war
We can't win
They hate us-we hate them
We can't win

I go to court
For my crime
Stand in line pay bail
I may serve time

Understand
We're fighting a war
We can't win
They hate us-we hate them
We can't win

Understand
We're fighting a war
We can't win
They hate us-we hate them
We can't win
