Der Songtext "Dis Policeman Keeps On Kicking Me To Death" von Benjamin Zephaniah handelt von Polizeibrutalität und Rassi...

Ina de distance of de night
You see dem moving round
Investigating and crime-making
Within any town,
Creeping persons wid no hearts
Dem control who dem please
Dem only like fe see you
When you de pon you bending knees.
Some of us will fight dem, we fight dem
Some of us fight back
Informers will sleep wid you
Den stab you ina you back
Dis regime is racist we know
Dis regime is bent
Dis regime is like a worthless penny
Dat's unspent.

Dis policeman keeps on hitting me and pulling out my locks
He keeps on feeding me unlimited brock-lacs
Dis policeman is a coward he gets me from behind
He can jail my body but him cannot jail my mind

Like a bat from hell he comes at night
To work his evil plan
Although he goes to church on Sunday
He's a sinner man,
Like a thief in the dark he take me to de
Place where he just left
And when him get me in der
He is kicking me to death.
Dis policeman, dis policeman
Dis policeman keeps on kicking me to death.

I got me up and took me to de place fe human rights
A notice on de door said 'Sorry, we are closed tonight'
So I turn round and took myself to see dis preacher guy
Who told me 'bout some heaven
Dat was in de bloody sky,
Now I don't wa'to kid myself
But I don't think I'm free
If I'm free den why does he
Keep fucking kicking me

I tell you I'm not joking
You should see dem over der
Dey have no respect for either
Living or welfare,
Dis policeman is a creep
I tell you he is mad
I am trying to do good
While he exhibits bad.
I am living in de ghetto
Trying to do my best
When dis policeman tells me
I'm under damn arrest.
Him beat me so badly
I was on the floor
Him said if I don't plead guilty
Him gwan kick me more
I was feeling sick, I pleaded
RACIST ATTACK
And another policeman come to finish me off -
Dis one was BLACK.

In dis war we have traitors
Who don't think to sell you out
In dis war der are people who refuse
To hear de shout
For human rights to be regarded
As a basic right
Still dis policeman kicks me
Every day and every night.

Repeat verse 3
