Police - The Tiger Lillies

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 …
