lyrics

HEY! MR POLICEMAN

Hey! Mr Policeman won’t you please leave me alone?
I'm just tryna make my way here and my business is my own
Yes, I accept you have a job to do and you’re giving it your all
But, contrary to popular belief, I'm not a criminal

I said, “Hey! Mr Policeman” just for once cut me some slack
I can’t walk down the high street without looking at my back
And with my reputation tattered & my prospects at their worst
Why must you drag my name down in the dirt?

LEAVE ME ALONE
LEAVE ME ALONE
I’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG

Well just the other morning I was driving into town
I looked up at the mirror saw the blue lights flashing round
Half an hour later, my car’s been emptied on the ground
A ‘routine check’ with nothing to be found

LEAVE ME ALONE
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
I’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG
