Who Are The Jazz Police?

from Dosta by Alien Music Club

lyrics

They see you when you're being bad
They watch you when you're sleeping
Their phantom power drives you mad
Who are the Jazz Police?
They know exactly what you said
that day when you were freaking
they keep it buried 'til you're dead
Who are the Jazz Police?

Chorus:
wanna be; gotta be; gonna be; outta be
that's the way it plays
coulda been; shoulda been; maybe then I woulda been
typical these days
wanna be; gotta be; gonna be; outta be
that's the way (and so) it goes
coulda been; shoulda been; maybe then I woulda been
one more to expose

you think you're pure as driven snow
a common misconception
stalin was simpatico
Who are the Jazz Police?
you're out of sight & out of mind
at least that's your perception
never know what they will find
Who are the Jazz Police?

Chorus:
wanna be; gotta be; gonna be; outta be
that's the way it plays
coulda been; shoulda been; maybe then I woulda been
typical these days
wanna be; gotta be; gonna be; outta be
that's the way (and so) it goes
coulda been; shoulda been; maybe then I woulda been
one more to expose

Bridge:
wake up; take a breath
is there really life after death?
pay attention to the jazz police
wake up; they're at the door
this is difficult to ignore
pay attention to the jazz police
wake up; you're outta time
another life on the line
pledge allegiance to the jazz police

They see you when you're being good
They watch you when you're working
They live here in your neighborhood
Who are the Jazz Police?
They know exactly where you go
there is no sense in hiding
they dig you like a little bro
Who are the Jazz Police?
They see you when you're being bad
They watch you when you're sleeping
Their phantom power drives you mad
Who are the Jazz Police?
