Lyrics
Police Man (don't take us away)
Intro
Police man don't take us away
Police man don't take us away
Verse 1
They come out for us in the night
Shut us down at our height
A single call, all the day
But they still come out anyway
Chorus
Police man, don't take us away
Police man, don't take us away
Police man, don't take us away
Police man, don't take us away
Verse 2
Sirens blaring, oh so loud
Hear them coming, all over town
Cherry top spinning, blue light bright
Driving down the street in their Black and White
Guitar solo (2 verses)
Verse 3
Calls they get from one or two
From people don't know, don't have a clue
Some from out of town and the State
Trying to keep us from playing late
Just musicians who play some songs
Entertaining people, doing no wrong
People gathering, having fun
Police please don't make them run
(Now the band gets loud)
We know the work, you have done
Stuck in the middle by unhappy ones
Called a nuisances, closed minded few
Please don't make us front page news
The music we love is rock and roll
Its in are hearts and in our souls
Come on and hang out, have some fun
And don't shut us down, before we're done
Chorus (2x)
Police man (Police man)
Police man (Police man)
Police man (Police man)
Police man (Police man)
Ending
Police man (Police man)
Police man (Police man)
Police man (Police man)
