Tiger Lillies Police Lyrics

When we were young we killed the foreign fellows,
they spoke in strange tongues and were brown or yellow.
We'd make mincemeat of 'em and when each one was a
corpse,
then for their killings we'd be heroes, of course.
Well now you're Chief of Police and I am King of
Thieves,
and each one in our own career something achieved,
though both from the gutter were conceived,
well now, with respect we are received.

We are the police
(we are the police)
we are the thieves
(we are the thieves)
and each the other does need.
We are the police
(we are the police)
we are the thieves
(we are the thieves) and each the other does need.

When we were young we went and joined the army,
those were the days, they were all so balmy.
Those young girls we would rape to shut them up
their mouths we'd sellotape,
to keep 'em quiet while them we did rape.
Ha ha ha ha!
So now our lives could become a success,
power and influence and money in excess.
You're the Chief of Police and I'm the King of Thieves,
and each in our own career something achieved.

We are the police
(we are the police)
we are the thieves
(we are the thieves)
and each the other does need ...
