Police always go in twos around dark corners through the night
Police have to know
Who's doing something criminal in the night
Police have to know
What there is to do
Because they have radio transmissions
Police shoot
If they know
That they must
And because of machine resistance

Police have a lot of duties
A wife and two kids
They're afraid of terrorists

Because they don't move fast enough
When they come from the night shift, their eyes have dark circles
They smoke “Mild Brand”
Because life is hard enough

Day and night they'll be with you
Day and night they'll be with you – the police

Police write up
What they know
Electronically

Everything might be important someday and somehow
Police know
What there is to do
Because they have radio transmissions
Police are increasing each day and each month

When you go home at night eating ice-cream after dancing lessons
When you stand at the bus stop with the new “Bravo”
When you turn your head to look behind in line at McDonalds

You can see them
You can see them

Day and night they'll be with you
Day and night they'll be with you
