Scared Of The Police Lyrics

Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it

And I'm scared of, the police
I'm scared of violence
I'm scared of handcuffs
And trungeons
I'm just too scared

So pack your bags
We're going home
This place is starting to stink
I was standing around, for far too long
My feet are starting to sink in

I'm scared of conmen
A statue, a monolith
I'm not changing, ever
It's not healthy
And I'm just

Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it

Wasting away
Straight ahead and say

Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of it

(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Scared of it
(Scared of it)
Go!

And I'm scared of the police
I'm scared of violence
I'm scared of handcuffs
And trungeons

And I am...

I'm scared of your anger
And I don't know what causes it
And you know that it hurts me
But I like you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe no body's commented on this band. They may be really new but I think they (along with Kinesis, thisGirl, Hell is for Heroes and Easyworld) have big things coming their way.

this is about wanting to escape the place you live in because of domestic violence.
