[Joe Strummer]
"Mister Mick Jones, is now gonna sing, Police on My Back!"
[Verse 1]
I'm a-runnin'
Police on my back
I've been hidin'
Police on my back
There was a shootin'
Police on my back
And the victim
Well, he won't come back
[Chorus]
I've been runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?
[Verse 2]
I've been runnin'
Down the railway track
Help me?
Police on my back
They will catch me
If I dare drop back
Won't you give me
All the speed I lack?
[Chorus]
I've been runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?
I've been running
[Joe Strummer interuption]
"Shhhhhh... Shhhhhh... Shhh...
Can we stop talking at the back please it's too loud
It's putting us off the song now, trying to concentrate so
Stop yakking"
[Verse 2]
Yes, i'm runnin'
Police on my back
I've been hidin'
Police on my back
There was a shootin'
Police on my back
And the victim
Well, he won't come back
[Chorus]
I've been runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done? What have I done? (Oh, Oh, Oh) What have I done? What have I done?
[Outro]
Runnin'
Hidin'
Runnin'
Hidin'
I'm runnin' (ooooh)
