Straight Jacket Lyrics - The Adicts

Police pulled me in on a Saturday night 

Accused me of thieving and starting a fight 

Never did a job I swear, 

Cops come from everywhere 

They're only picking on my generation 

They don't need any provocation 

Please the police please mister 

Get down on your knees mister 

You're going down for a long time Jack 

Better put on that straightjacket ... straightjacket 

Caught me in a corner of a public lav 

Empried my pockets took what I had 

Waste of time all the pain 

Wrong man again 

They're only picking on my generation 

They don't need any provocation 

Please the police please mister 

Get down on your knees mister 

You're going down for a long time Jack 

Better put on that straightjacket ... straightjacket 

Chased me from here to the other side of there 

Another night inside but I don't care 

Beat me up in the rain 

straightjacket again 

They're only picking on my generation 

They don't need any provocation 

Please the police please mister 

Get down on your knees mister 

You're going down for a long time Jack 

Better put on that straightjacket ... straightjacket
