Police on My Back (US 7″) Songtext
von The Clash

Well, I′m runnin', police on my back
I′ve been hidin', police on my back
There was a shootin', police on my back
And the victim, well, he won′t come back

I′ve been runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Runnin′ Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done?
What have I done?

Yes, I'm runnin′ down the railway track
Won't you help me? Police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Won′t you give me all the speed I lack?


I've been runnin' Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Runnin′ Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done?
What have I done?

I′m runnin'
I am runnin′
I keep runnin'

Yes, I′m runnin' down the railway track
Won′t you help me? Police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Won't you help me find the speed I lack?

I've been runnin′ Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Runnin′ Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
What have I done?
What have I done?

'Cause I′m runnin' (police on my back)
Hidin′ (police on my back)
Runnin' (police on my back)
Hidin′ (police on my back)


I'm runnin' down the railway track
Could you help me? Police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Will you give me all the speed I lack?
I′ve been runnin′
I've been runnin′
