lyrics

I remember back in 88 when they tried to bring me down
they labeled me a deviant, they hauled me off down town
they used no cuffs no guns, they said they were my friends
as long as I gave them a list of all my buddies sins
and I remember how back in 92 they used their billy clubs
to beat down a group of kids coming out of a night club
I don’t remember what I did back in 88 to get drug in
but it seems the same in 92, beat down for nothing

All the punks know when big pig truck comes
that its time to go, time to get out
because if the pigs find you standing around
they’ll use their wooden clubs to Beat you Down

Well back in 88 I told them shit so they let me go
I had done nothing wrong so they could not keep a hold
but they followed me and watched for me to make a mistake
so they could drag me back in to get out of me what they wanted
so in 1990 when I got the cash I got the hell out of town
I moved to the bigger city where I thought the cops would leave me alone
but soon I learned that once your on that criminal list
the harassment from the PD it never seems to end

All the punks know when big pig truck comes
that its time to go, time to get out
because if the pigs find you standing around
they’ll use their wooden clubs to Beat you Down
