Barefoot kids want Buffalo shoes
And they run from the police even though they've done nothing
The whole Nygatan is boring since they built offices
No one wants to be photographed when you don't take pictures
And you said you wanted to marry Raimo when you grew up
Propose on a matress made of galloon
The glow gets crooked when you do as you've done
Smokes mom's hand that smokes too fast (?)
No one you know lives here
You said you knew the code to a gate
Everything you said sounded cool
Everything you said sounded cool, you said
Fuck the police
Don't want to give us a lift
But why else are the police outside every club?
Give us a lift
You said they know you, every one of them are friends with you
Every manhole cover, every curb
And every tile in every wall
They tried to chew you and swallow you
They tried to buy you and sell you
So you had to force them
Force those streets to love you
Rhyme and resonance, common sense
Sense and etiquette, obidience and dicipline
Going to ignore every one of those things you'll have to keep at it
Thought wrong when they thought it was something similar that you wanted to become
Heard shouting, just like nothing
Fuck the police
Don't want to give us a lift
But why else are the police outside every club?
Give us a lift
So bless the kids on the stairs to the church
Everyone sitting there, are sitting drunk
Looks like Börje Salming and Lennie Norman
Janis Joplin, BB King and Benny Goodman
What do you mean sit and hope? What do you mean sit and lie?
What do you mean sit and cost? What do you mean sit and drink?
But aren't you going to catch real thieves? They said
Fuck the police
Don't want to give us a lift
But why else are the police outside every club?
Give us a lift
Fuck the police
Don't want to give us a lift
But why else are the police outside every club?
Give us a lift
