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 don't 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?
'Cause 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
They don't keep you safe
They don't keep you safe
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?
