Police Police Lyrics

[Chorus]
Life cleared the light from my eyes
And wiped the smirk from my face

It won't be seen anymore
If I let my voice go to waste
I'll know the pills by their taste
They help us hide who we are

[Post-Chorus]
No more silence while children scream
Locked in cages built overseas

No more silence while children scream
Locked in cages built overseas


[Bridge]
Every time we condone
Another version of hate
We get farther from God

[Outro]
I know you're tired, I know you tire
I know you're tired, I know you tire
I know you're tired, I know you tire
(Life cleared the light from my eyes)
(And wiped the smirk from my face)

I know you're tired, I know you tire
(It won't be seen anymore)
(Take it, it's yours)
(Take it, it's yours)
(Take it, it's yours)
(Take it, it's yours)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Frank Iero and The Future Violents say about "Police Police"?
Genius Answer

I think true life inspired that song, you know? It’s scary to me and upsetting to me that human rights and the idea of loving one another and helping each other and living in the same world with respect for one another is a political statement. Like, that’s fucked up to me. I think that should just be a no-brainer, that we should look out for one another and help one another without trying to break each other down. I think that love is a wonderful thing and you should be able to live your life, if you’re not hurting someone else, the way that you want to live your life, and people should support you in that and not try to destroy you because of the color of your skin or your sexual preference or your religious beliefs.
