The lovely metropolitan police
Are coming after you
You can’t escape the clutches
Of the boys and girls in blue
They'll chase you here, they'll chase you there
They'll never give you peace
They’ll chase you til your dying day
The metropolitan police

The truth is in reality, they couldn’t catch a cold
They’d rather put some innocent in a lethal stranglehold
They’ll plant things on your person, they’ll plant things in your car
To keep the figures looking good, the truth they will ignore


The lovely metropolitan police
Are knocking on your door
Don’t try to resist them
Or you’ll end up on the floor
And if you happen to be white
You may well get released
But if you’re black forget it
It’s the metropolitan police

They are a law unto themselves, once they’ve got a shoulder patch
A night-stick and a tazer gun, a nice new shiny badge
A fast car and a uniform, a pair of steel-cap boots
Put on the body armour, and let the violence loose

The lovely metropolitan police
They’re there for the good of us all
It would never even cross their mind
To punch and kick and maul
There’re fine upstanding citizens
Patrolling on the beat
Except when they don’t like you
There’re the metropolitan police

Blatant lies and cover-ups
Are all par for the course
They’ll beat confessions out of you
With over-whelming force
They’ll fit you up, they’ll stitch you up, with no sign of remorse
…………….Your nicked!




Corruption and racism,
Harbingers of fascism
Trigger happy bully-boys
Cognisors of sadism
Don’t worry, we’ll look after you
When you’re out there on the street
We’re only here to serve you
The metropolitan police
