Out in the night you see them passing by
They're supposed to protect
Or stop some guy
If there's a burglary
They are there to stop it
Can't you see they're not cops
When no one watch they turn from angels
To the devil or vicious strangers
They beat you up and kick your crutch
The power makes it to much
They beat you up on spots that don't show
Where to hit, they really know
A kick in the stomach
A kick in the head
You're laying awake in bed
You can't report it, can't go to school
If you can't prove it, that's the rule
If it don't show, no crime has been done
If you meet an officer
you better run
IT IS THE CRIMINALS IN BLUE
OUT TO PROTECT YOU
IF IT DON'T TURN OUT HIS WAY
HE DON'T WANT TO PLAY
IT IS THE CRIMINALS IN BLUE
OUT TO PROTECT YOU
IF IT DON'T TURN OUT HIS WAY
HE DON'T WANT TO PLAY BY THE RULES
