They Don't

[Verse 1] Put on your lights for me I  put my keys up on the windscreen I  take a seat in the back of your car Express my gratitude for your bravery You tell me I'm lucky And  I know what that means The  way I speak and colour of my skin Means you'll spare me the brutality [Chorus] They  don't keep you safe They don't keep you safe They don't keep you safe They don't keep you safe [Verse 2] You  have a real hard time Writing tickets and fighting crime Why is it people wanna focus on state violence When that officer proposed at Pride? 'Cause nothing goes your way Shutting stations and freezing pay We're all living with austerity too But we're not killing for a living wage [Chorus] They don't keep you safe They don't keep you safe They don't keep you safe They don't keep you safe [Verse 3] If police don't ruin lives Let the soap shop spread their lies But the next time you have a noise complaint Who you gonna call? [Guitar solo]
