Mr. Policeman Songtext
von Rick James

Hey Mr. Policeman
I′ve seen you in my neighbourhood
You look to me up to no good
I've seen you with your gun in your hand
Hey Mr. Policeman
I saw you shoot my good friend down
He was just havin′ fun
Checkin' out a one and one
It's a shame its a disgrace
Why every time you show your face
Somebody dies man
Somebody dies
Hey Mr. Policeman Why don′t you leave the boys alone
Why don′t you just roll your own
Because all your hearts are made of stone
Hey Mr. Policeman
I see you walkin' on your beat
Searchin′ strangers on the street
Sampling the hookers treats
Yeah
It's a shame such a disgrace
Everytime you show your face
Somebody Somebody Somebody
Somebody dies yeah yeah yeah
Let′s tell them about it Tommy, come on

The nation guard is deploying tonight
After protest tonight after a video showing police
Shooting a black man in the back multiple times... Gun!
You shoot my good friend down down down down down yeah
La la la la la la la la la la la la


Hey Mr. Policeman why did you shoot my good friend down
He was just havin' fun it was a cell phone and not a gun... no
Hey Mr. Policeman why ya still collect a check
Ya got your knee in someone′s neck ya know you must have stacked the deck yeah
It's a shame such a disgrace
Everytime you show your face
Somebody Somebody Somebody
Somebody dies yeah yeah yeah
And its no surprise yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
La la la la la la la la la la la la

I'd rather be a farmer than to be a police
I′d rather be a singer than to be a police
I′d rather be a hobo than to be a police
I'm glad I′m a funk and roll singer and not the police

La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la
