Boys in Blue
by Ani DiFranco
from the album, Imperfectly

i shut my mouth
cause they are the law
and i am alone
ohhh, the boys in blue
have decided i need a good talking to
though i've done nothing wrong
he is less than polite
i guess i'm not his type
and while he has his fun
the whole time he has his hand on his gun
my friends, they say
you'll have to grow your hair
and watch what you wear
if you want them, to go away
otherwise, stay out of sight
and be thankful that you are white
i shut my mouth
cause they are the law
and i am alone
ohhhh, the boys in blue
have decided i need a good talking to
