Lyrics

Mr. Mick Jones
So now we're gonna sing
"Police On My Back"
Well, I'm running
Police on my back
I've been hiding
Police on my back
They want to shoot him
Police on my back
Another victim
Well he won't come back
I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
I've been running
Down the runway track
If you'd help me
Police on my back
They will catch me
If I dare drop back
Would you give me
On the speed of light
I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
I've been running
Can we stop talking at the back please, it's too loud
It's putting us off the song here
Tryna concentrate so uh, stop yakking
So I'm running
Police on my back
I've been hiding
Police on my back
They want to shoot him
Police on my back
Another victim
Well he won't come back
I've been running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Running Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
Running out here
Running out here
Now I'm running
Okay
We'd like to calm it down here now that you're nice and wet
If you find that if you move you won't get rained upon
