The Boys In Blue Lyrics - Ani Difranco

I shut my mouth 

Cause they are the law 

And I am alone 

Ohhh, the boys in blue 

Have decided I need a good talking to 

Though I've done nothing wrong 

He is less than polite 

I guess I'm not his type 

And while he has his fun 

The whole time he has his hand on his gun 

My friends, they say 

You'll have to grow your hair 

And watch what you wear 

If you want them, to go away 

Otherwise, stay out of sight 

And be thankful that you are white 

I shut my mouth 

Cause they are the law 

And I am alone 

Ohhhh, the boys in blue 

Have decided I need a good talking to
