The chorus of this song goes “I hate the police”. I just want to make it explicitly clear here that I do.

lyrics
Cameras,
Camera everywhere
More police
Up in the air
Watching TV
No-one seems to care
ID cards & DNA
CS gas & pepper spray
Every demonstration turns out
The same way
And all the queens horses
& all the queens men
They take us apart
Again & again
& I hate the police
I hate the police
I hate the police
I do
Every time I see those big men in yellow coats I
Wonder what is going to happen to my friends
Every time I see them on my street I wonder
Where it will end
Roads all closed & exits sealed
Blood upon the riot shield
Some of the wounds you gave
they never healed
All you serve are fearful kings
Greed & power & suffering
Put down your weapons
Return to your homes
Be a good soldier
& don’t hurt your own
For they hate the police
& they fear the police
They don’t need the police
Do you?
Every time I see those big men in yellow coats I
Wonder what is going to happen to my friends
Every time I see them on my street I wonder
Where it will end
And I hate the police
And they hate the police
And we hate the police
We do
We do
We do
