They Don't

Put on your lights for me

I put my keys up on the windscreen

I take a seat in the back of your car

Express my gratitude for your bravery

You tell me I'm lucky

And I know what that means

The way I speak and colour of my skin

Means you'll spare me the brutality

They don't

Keep you safe

They don't

Keep you safe

They don't

Keep you safe

They dont

Keep you safe

You have a real hard time

Writing tickets and fighting crime

Why is it people wanna focus on state violence

When that officer proposed at Pride?

Cos nothing goes your way

Shutting stations and freezing pay

We're all living with austerity too

But we're not killing for a living wage

They don't

Keep you safe

If Police don't ruin lives

Let the soap shop spread their lies

But the next time you have a noise complaint

Who you gonna call?
