They're running from the law
On their toes, on the streets
They call 'em gangs, call 'em thieves
'Cause we're bobbies on the beat
Stop and search, section sixty
Public menace, check id
Give the pounds to the poor
Give the change to the coppers

Here's to the boys in blue
Well done you
The streets are not safer
You could have saved her
Blues and twos
And what does that say about

Protect and serve, serve themselves
Power trippin', plastic pigs
Public funded with their guns on their hips
Contempt for the people, house of glass
It's a farce, they're as shameful as the first
And as guilty as the last

Here's to the boys in blue
Well done you
The streets are not safer
You could have saved her
It's all on you

Indecent exposure
You always knew
But you let them just slip through
And what does that say about you?
And what does that say about you?
And you, and you, and you, and you
And what does that say about you?
And what does that say about you?

Pull up with your blues and twos
Abusing your power
The streets are still sour

Here's to the boys in blue
Well done you
The streets are not safer
You could have saved her
It's all on you

And what does that say about you?
And you (you), and you (you), and you (you), and you
What does that say about you? (You)
And you (you), and you (you), and you (you), and you
What does that say about you? (You)
And you (you), and you (you), and you (you), and you
And what does that say about you?
And what does that say about you?
